Illinois Proposes New State Constitution at Special Election
The 1923 Illinois constitutional draft, adopted by the constitutional convention, outlines major changes across rights, legislative apportionment, executive and judicial reform, taxation, local government powers, and canal funding, with a December 12 voting date and a January 15, 1923, adoption deadline if approved. It details jury eligibility for women, reapportionment to 57 senate and 153 house districts, Chicago consolidation and home rule, and new revenue rules including income tax allocation.
