The Illinois State Board of Elections has a meeting on July 9. One of the items dealt with will be the ballot status of Jay Keeven, the only Republican running for State Reprsentative, 112th district. He got on the ballot by submitting a petition, under the old Illinois law procedure for candidates who want a party nomination after the March primary is over. Assuming the party didn’t nominate anyone in the primary, the old law let a party nominate someone by meeting if the candidate had submitted the same number of signatures after the primary that would have been needed if he had petitioned earlier for the primary.
Governor J.B. Pritzger signed SB 2412, the bill that repealed that procedure, on May 3, the day after Keevan submitted his petition. There are many court decisions and administrative decisions that say states cannot make ballot access rules worse in the middle of the petition season, and expect to have those changes take effect immediately. See this story.
