Illinois House vote on 18-year-old voting tied to campus town bill
Speaker W. Robert Blair said he may delay asking the Illinois House to ratify the federal amendment granting 18-year-olds the vote until the Senate acts on a campus town voting restriction bill. Blair favors home-town voting for students but denies holding the amendment hostage. Senate President Pro Tempore Cecil Partee and House members discuss timing as broader ratification proceeds. Blair cites nationwide legal changes allowing 18-year-olds to vote in federal elections and urges passage to resolve chaos in university towns like Champaign, Carbondale, and Evanston.
