House Amendment 004

Makes changes to the bill as amended by House Amendment No. 3. Provides that a correctional institution shall make available to a person in its custody resource materials current to an election, which are requested by that person in its custody and received at the correctional institution from a local election authority in response to that person's request. In provisions concerning temporary branch polling places at county jails, provides that a voter entitled to vote in another county, other than the county in which the jail is located, shall only be allowed to vote by mail.

House Amendment 003

House Amendment 002

In provisions amending the Election Code concerning post-conviction voting, removes the requirement that a person convicted of a felony, or otherwise under sentence in a correctional institution or jail, be eligible to vote not later than 5 days before the first primary, general, consolidated, or special election immediately following his or her conviction. Makes changes to the requirements of the annual report by the State Board of Elections. Provides that the provisions apply to all elections beginning with the general primary election in 2022. Provides the State Board of Elections with rulemaking authority, including emergency rules, to implement the provisions. Creates the Post-Conviction Task Force to study how to implement provisions restoring voting rights and allowing voting while a person is under sentence in a correctional institution. Requires the Task Force to submit a report on its findings and recommendations on or before December 31, 2021. Dissolves the Task Force on January 1, 2023. Makes conforming changes in the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. Changes the effective date to immediate rather than July 1, 2022.

House Amendment 001

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Election Code. Provides that a person convicted of a felony or otherwise under sentence in a correctional institution shall have his or her right to vote restored and shall be eligible to vote not later than 14 days following his or her conviction or not later than 5 days before the first election following the person's confinement (rather than prohibiting a person who has been convicted of any crime and is serving a sentence of confinement from voting until his or her release from confinement). Requires the election authority to collaborate with a correctional institution to facilitate an opportunity for voting by mail for eligible electors to vote in that election jurisdiction who are incarcerated in the correctional institution. Provides that all requirements of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 and other federal, State, and local laws regarding language access and disability access apply to the provisions. Requires the correctional institution to make available to persons in custody resource materials relating to an election. Requires the State Board of Elections in coordination with correctional institutions to annually report certain data regarding compliance with the provisions. Makes conforming changes throughout the Code and in the Unified Code of Corrections. Effective July 1, 2022.

Senate Amendment 002

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Election Code. Provides that when a vacancy occurs in the office of State Senator or State Representative in the General Assembly, the legislative or representative committee of that legislative or representative district that fills the vacancy shall provide members of the public within the district with notice of the vacancy and the replacement process. Provides that the committee shall also provide members of the public with notice of an impending vote to fill the vacancy. Provides that any meeting held by a legislative or representative committee for purposes of filling a vacancy in the General Assembly shall be open to the public and shall also be recorded and broadcast by electronic means for public consumption. Provides requirements for appointments that may be filled by the Governor.
