Illinois lawmakers likely to miss deadline to move on fair maps proposal before redraw – Center Square

November’s election is the last chance to change the state’s guiding charter before lawmakers are to take decennial Census data and rework political boundaries, absent public input. The final three chances for a constitutional amendment have been canceled due to the still-prevalent threat of COVID-19.
