Illinois Special Legislative Session Extended Again

Two interesting election law bills pending in the Illinois legislature are still alive. They are HB 1685 (the National Popular Vote Plan) and HB 1752 (timid ballot access improvements). Both have passed both houses of the legislature in some version, but since the versions passed by each house are not the same, further legislative action is needed. The regular legislative session is over, but these two bills (along with many other bills) are eligible to be considered in the special session. The special session may last for many more weeks. The legislative webpage, which says that these two bills must be enacted by June 30, is not up-to-date.
