Added Co-Sponsor Rep. Tony M. McCombie
Summary
The bill orders the Illinois Secretary of State to create a secure database that indicates whether the holder of a driver’s license or state ID is a U.S. citizen. Before any person is registered to vote, local election officials must check this database; if the person is not a citizen, their registration card is marked “incomplete” and they must appear before the county clerk with proof of citizenship to vote. The measure is intended to ensure that only citizens are registered.
