ELEC CD-SOS VERIFICATION

Summary

The bill directs the Illinois Secretary of State to create a secure database, by Jan. 1 2027, that records whether each driver’s license or state ID holder is a U.S. citizen. Local election officials must consult this database before registering anyone to vote; if the record shows the applicant is not a citizen, the registration card is marked “incomplete” and the applicant must appear before the county clerk with proof of citizenship to vote. The measure is currently referred to the Rules Committee.
