Supreme Court to Review Challenge to Illinois Mail-In Ballot Law
The Supreme Court will hear a case regarding the legality of counting mail-in ballots received after Election Day in Illinois.
Overview
The Supreme Court will consider whether Rep. Mike Bost and two Republican electors have the standing to challenge an Illinois law that allows mail-in ballots to be counted if received up to two weeks after Election Day. Lower courts ruled they lacked standing, but the case could impact ongoing debates about mail-in voting and election integrity. The justices will hear arguments in the fall, with a decision expected by June 2026.
