The Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. Young Voter Empowerment Law (HB4339/SB1786) would ensure that every Illinois high school offers nonpartisan voter registration to eligible students before they graduate, starting in the 2026–2027 school year. Research and lived experience show that first-time participation matters—people who vote early are more likely to keep voting. Normalizing voter registration in high school makes civic engagement a standard part of becoming an adult. High schools reach nearly every young person, across ZIP codes and income levels. Offering voter registration in a familiar setting reduces disparities and ensures access isn’t dependent on time, transportation, family support, or knowing where to go. Call or email your Illinois state senator and representative and ask them to support this bill.

This International Women's Day, tell your IL state legislators to support the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. Young Voter Empowerment Law (HB4339/SB1786). Help young people get engaged in civic life at an early age.

DID YOU KNOW? Only US citizens can vote in Illinois elections.

Beware of misinformation and disinformation. Noncitizens are not able to vote in Illinois. Suggestions to the contrary have no basis in fact.

Blue box with the words WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MISINFORMATION & DISINFORMATION

Blue box with the words WHAT IS MIS & DISINFORMATION? MISINFORMATION: Inadvertently sharing false information without the intent of harm. DISINFORMATION: Creating and sharing false information with the intent to harm.

HOW TO SPOT INFORMATION ONLINE: 1. CONSIDER THE SOURCE. Does the URL look strange? Check the 'About' page on the website. 2. CHECK THE DATE. Is the story old news? Sharing out-of-date information may not match current events. 3. CROSS CHECK INFORMATION. Are reputable news sources reporting the same story? 4. READ PAST THE HEADLINE. What's the whole story? Sometimes a headline doesn't match the content. 5. QUESTION EMOTIONALLY CHARGED CONTENT. Disinformation intends to sow division by getting us angry or sad through images or memes.

DOS & DON'TS OF DISINFORMATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA. DON'T CLICK OR SHARE. If you quote the bad information, you help spread it. DO SHARE ACCURATE INFORMATION. Without mentioning the wrong info, set the record straight by sharing the correct messages. DON'T ENGAGE PUBLICLY. If someone you know is sharing bad info, message them privately & ask them to take it down. DO REPORT & BLOCK. Report inaccurate info to social media platforms, group administrators & election officials. Block users you don't know who share mis or disinformation.

Mis- and Dis-information can take many forms. It's more important than ever to check the facts and not take for granted that the messages you are exposed to are true. Visit lwvckcil.com/voting-facts to view or download the LWV of Illinois Voting Facts Infographic.

A common myth is that our voting equipment is connected to the Internet and is therefore vulnerable to hacking, fraud, etc. FACT: In Illinois, the equipment we use to make our selections and cast our ballot are NEVER connected to the Internet.
#ElectionIntegrity #LWVIL #LWVCKC

Any non-citizens considering voting are deterred by a very high likelihood of detection and harsh criminal penalties. FACT: Most registered voters who are flagged as potential non-citizens turn out to be rightfully-registered citizen voters.
