Background
If this bill becomes law, every Republican voter would once again have the right to directly elect their representatives to the Illinois GOP's State Central Committee -- the GOP's senior governing board. Restoring a voice to every Illinois Republican will fundamentally change the way our Illinois Republican Party functions.

Illinois Democrats have always had the right to directly elect the members of their State Central Committee. Illinois Republicans deserve the same respect.
