Decline to Sign IL26-126
Becca J Verda | Published on 10/14/2025
Organized efforts in Washington and across the country are seeking to make it more difficult for individuals to register to vote and maintain their current registration. Besides being burdensome to eligible voters and costly for counties to utilize, the proposals are not necessary because voting by noncitizens is negligible. Furthermore, these proposals would disenfranchise a significant number of persons who are legally eligible to cast a ballot.
In Washington, Initiative Measure IL26-126 would require all voters to have an enhanced drivers’ license or provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship in person. Voters who fail to do so would see their registration canceled.
Backers have until Jan. 2, 2026, to turn in the signatures of nearly 309,000 voters on petitions which are currently circulating.
There is a lot of supporting information on theLWVWA website.
LWVWA respectfully ask that you DECLINE to sign the petition IL26-126. Spread the word among your family and friends.
