HB0330 Summary

• Eliminates the requirement that voters declare their political party affiliation when voting at primary elections in Illinois.

• Provides all voters with ballots from each established political party nominating candidates, but voters may only cast a ballot for one political party.

• Creates exceptions allowing voters to cast ballots for both a statewide political party and a local political party established within a political subdivision, provided they do not vote for offices of the same political subdivision in both parties.

• Applies the same primary ballot provisions to absentee voters, requiring them to receive all party ballots and to discard unused ballots rather than declare party affiliation.

• Repeals Section 19-2.1 of the Election Code and removes language requiring primary ballot applicants to designate their political party affiliation.
