The board voted to go into executive session to consider complaints following closed preliminary hearings and other docketed matters that require confidentiality under state law.
Chair Watson cited the statutory authority for the closed session on the record: "pursuant to section 9‑21 of the Election Code, 10 ILCS 5/9‑21, and section 2(c)(4) of the Open Meetings Act, 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(4)." The board then called for non-board staff and non-parties to clear the room and confirmed participation for certain docketed respondents who were joining remotely.
A motion to enter executive session was made and adopted by roll call. Board staff then began verifying which complainants and respondents were present for the executive-session portions of the docket.
