IL: County Board OKs Arena As Voting Center, Talks Mask Compliance
Last edited Wed Aug 19, 2020, 01:46 AM - Edit history (1)
The McLean County Board on Tuesday unanimously approved establishing Grossinger Motors Arena in downtown Bloomington as an Election Day voting center where all registered voters can cast a ballot.
A new law in Illinois passed this year requires voting authorities to establish voting centers that are open to all voters within a jurisdiction.
The McLean County Clerk’s office and Bloomington Election Commission also have sent mail-in ballot applications to voters in another state-mandated effort to expand voter access during the pandemic.
All regular polling sites also will be open on Nov. 3.
The county board-backed proposal also needs approval from the Bloomington City Council, which has not yet taken up the matter.
