The League of Women Voters of Illinois announces how Illinois state ballot handling procedures keep both mail-in and in-person votes safe.

The League of Women Voters of Illinois announces how Illinois state ballot handling procedures keep both mail-in and in-person votes safe.

Illinois conducts pre- and post-election testing of voting equipment to protect against ballot destruction or tampering. Post-election risk-limiting efforts ensure that the votes are counted correctly.

The League also advises a warning against false claims about election results, as bad actors may spread disinformation for their political gain.
