If you have a political committee, don't forget to file your quarterly report by July 17! #campaigndisclosure #CampaignFinanceLaws

[Illinois SBE @illinoissbe]

All voting systems used in the state are tested thoroughly before being approved. Illinois requires all machines be tested to state standards as well as to be tested by a federally (EAC) accredited voting system testing lab.

For the current total of Outstanding Vote By Mail ballots by ward, click below - this report will be updated moving forward through the April 18th deadline: https://t.co/KgCs4079gQ 🗳️

[Scott Kennedy @ScottTKennedy]

My assumption is that older voters didn't dropoff, they are just going to show up in the late arriving mail universe, which could skew a little older than normal, & because of that could be a little more Vallas friendly than you might traditionally expect

[Heather Cherone @HeatherCherone]

Fewer than half of all ballots cast in the races for Chicago mayor/City Council/Police District council were cast on Election Day, new data from @ChicagoElection shows
CONTEXT: Mail ballots will be sent out starting Saturday; early voting starts Monday in all 50 wards

[IL Election Data @ILElectionData]

@elizabethaustin I haven't seen that anywhere. You can't know for sure, but there are ways to estimate those totals, it's just a lot of work that has to be done manually.

[Reform for Illinois @Reform4Illinois]

Willie Wilson blew the caps in this year's mayoral primary, enabling the fundraising frenzy that followed. Caps went back into place after the primary, prompting Vallas's move.

[Reform for Illinois @Reform4Illinois]

Vallas and Brandon Johnson are now able to accept unlimited contributions through the runoff.

[Reform for Illinois @Reform4Illinois]

Paul Vallas lends himself $100,100, triggering the "self-funding" loophole that lifts contribution caps.

[IL Election Data @ILElectionData]

Good luck, all.

🚨 The following jurisdictions are holding a Consolidated Primary Election today🚨

[IL Election Data @ILElectionData]

@ShiaKapos It may be some time before it is known in some races whether they are going to runoff and/or which candidates are the top two finishers. The potential for chaos and intrigue is non-zero. My advance condolences to all who may be affected.

[IL Election Data @ILElectionData]

Chicago municipal elections for Mayor and Aldermen are in 6 days (2/28). In any race where no candidate gets a simple majority the top two go to a runoff in 5 weeks, on 04/04. However, as @ShiaKapos
points out, final results may not be immediately known.

[Shia Kapos @ShiaKapos]

— Results of Chicago mayor's race might not come election night.
— @JBPritzker's team at the ready if @JoeBiden doesn't run.
— READER DIGEST on wild run-ins with politicos. At the urinal and in a locker room. Don't worry, Rahm wore a towel! https://t.co/7n3dGVut0d via @politico

[IL Election Data @ILElectionData]

@ShiaKapos So long as they're postmarked by election day, any late arriving mail ballots can be legally counted for another two weeks, until 3/14, and final results are certified on 3/21. For any very close races that short 5 week runoff may be compressed even further.

[IL Election Data @ILElectionData]

Former gubernatorial candidate Paul Schimpf has amended his D-1 to run for State's Attorney in Monroe County.

On January 1st, contribution limits which govern the amounts a political committee may receive will be adjusted upwards pursuant to 10 ILCS 5/9-8.5(g). Make sure you're aware of how this may impact your committees! #campaigndisclosure #campaignfinance

[IL Election Data @ILElectionData]

In some races the donor base has narrowed to larger but fewer donors, this provision could come into play more frequently.

[IL Election Data @ILElectionData]

The State Board has issued some clarifying guidance on the "sponsoring entity" provision.

[Illinois SBE @illinoissbe]

Here's the 101 on Sponsoring Entities for all political committees in Illinois. #CampaignDisclosure

[IL Election Data @ILElectionData]

I first wrote about this little known provision back in 2016, and a few times since.

[IL Election Data @ILElectionData]

The $500K donation to Ken Dunkin probably triggered a filing obligation to list the donor as a Sponsoring Entity.
