SPRINGFIELD - If Democratic House Leader Barbara Flynn Currie (Chicago) floor amendment is accepted by the Illinois Senate, not only will the 2013 Consolidated Primary and General Elections petition deadline change by two days, but so will the dates of the 2nd congressional district's special election change. Flynn Currie's legislation will combine consolidated elections with the 2nd CD special election.
With the passage of SB 3338, the combined primary election will be held on February 26, 2013, and the general election will be held on April 9, 2013.
The legislation will now return to the Senate for consideration, then to Governor.
