New Illinois Elections Law provides for Voting by Mail

On June 16th, 2020, the governor signed a new elections law. Safety concerns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic were the impetus for this law. (The provisions in the law are repealed as of January 1, 2021.)

There are two primary provisions:

• It facilitates an application process by which eligible voters can obtain and use mail-in ballots for the 2020 general election, and
• It enacts changes to ensure the safety of and enhanced participation in the 2020 general election.

See our Voting Information page to learn more about Voting 2020 questions including vote-by-mail and ballot information. 

Check out the Illinois Voter's Guide to register to vote, check to see if you are registered, find your polling place, request a vote-by-mail ballot, and find out what will be on your November 2020 ballot.
