Illinois is the latest state considering all mail-in voting, despite integrity problems nationwide

Securing Democracy? If the legislation is adopted, then Illinois would become the 24th state to allow for all mail-in voting for elections. This does not come without ballot integrity problems.

Illinois is the latest state to consider moving to all mail-in voting for elections, as 23 other states have some form of it, despite concerns raised regarding lost and undeliverable mail-in ballots.

An Illinois state legislature committee discussed a bill last week that would allow counties to choose all mail-in voting for elections, focusing on expanding voter access. However, an election integrity watchdog has warned of issues with the system, such as missing ballots.

All mail-in voting elections are where all registered voters are sent ballots in the mail, without requesting them. This is different from absentee voting, where voters request a mail-in ballot to vote.

During a meeting of the House Ethics and Elections Committee on Wednesday, a bill was discussed that would allow counties to conduct elections through mail-in voting. The legislation, House Bill 4198, was proposed by Illinois State Rep. Carol Ammons (D), who sits on the committee.
