The Illinois Supreme Court allowed the current State Board of Elections to oversee the March 21 primary. The board, though appointed unconstitutionally and slated for replacement, will stay in operation until July 1 when the new eight member board takes over. The old board had technically expired January 13 but faced no practical issues due to a holiday. The new board will include four governor appointments and four chosen by the governor from a list by the ranking statewide official of the opposite party.
