The Illinois Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a lawsuit challenging the state’s law regarding mail-in ballots. Illinois law stipulates that ballots postmarked by Election Day are automatically counted if received by the last day of the mail period. This law aims to ensure timely vote counting and facilitate the election process. The court will analyze the legal merits of the challenge, examining whether the law adequately protects voters. The case focuses on the interpretation of the law’s provisions and its impact on election administration. The Court’s decision could have broader implications for mail-in ballot regulations across the nation.
