HB 2418 recently passed, included approval of on-line voter registration system in IL

Since the 2010 Census, and through Illinois’ 2011 redistricting process and 2012 elections, the Citizen Advocacy Center has been an integral member of a coalition that is seeking to strengthen ties among political reform and civil rights organizations.  Our latest collaboration involves advocating for Illinois to implement on-line voter registration in order to maximize opportunities for eligible voters to participate in elections.

Illinois recently passed HB 2418, which is a bill that involved many changes to the Illinois Election Code.  One component was the approval of the implementation of an on-line voter registration system.  The Citizen Advocacy Center, along with our coalition partners recently drafted a communication to the State Board of Elections highlighting criteria that we collectively believe will be important for general implementation and in the rulemaking process.
