SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WJPF) — Governor JB Pritzker has signed into law a bill that expands access to the ballot box and moves the 2022 primary election date.
SB 825 increases access to curbside voting, establishes permanent vote by mail registries, and strengthens cybersecurity standards for election authorities. The legislation also allows sheriffs outside of Cook County to set up polling stations at county jails for individuals awaiting trial.
The general election primary, typically held in March, will be moved to June 28th next year.
