State Board votes to move into closed preliminary hearings under election-code authority

State Board of Elections · July 15, 2026

Summary

The board voted to enter closed preliminary hearings under section 9-21 of the election code and related rule, carrying the motion on roll call and adjourning into executive session to consider sensitive matters.

The State Board voted to recess into closed preliminary hearings and executive session under the authority cited by staff — "pursuant to section 9-21 of the election code" — to handle matters that require confidentiality in the preliminary stage. General Counsel Marjorie Narrowitz read the statutory citation and requested the motion; board members moved, seconded and adopted the motion on roll call.

The board's motion closed the public portion of the meeting for the listed items and the board recessed into the designated closed session. Staff told members the closed session was necessary to consider several pending objections and that some matters will return to open session when appropriate to issue public orders.
