GOP senators call for standardized election procedures across all counties Sue Rezin Updated 5/6/2021 3:08 PM SPRINGFIELD -- Two Republican senators have introduced legislation to standardize the way local authorities across Illinois handle elections, from the training of election judges to posting information about delays in ballot counting. Sens. Sally Turner, of Beason, and Sue Rezin, of Morris, said during a virtual news conference Thursday their bill is intended to provide more transparency and give voters more confidence in how elections in Illinois are conducted.
"The more we let the individuals know, the voters know, how these processes work, the better educated they are, the more helpful that is to county clerks," Turner said. "It's important ... when you go from one county to another, that your processes are the same."
