http://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/335555-illinois-legislature-passes-automatic-voter-registrationThe Illinois House passed a bill Monday that would automatically register people to vote, the Associated Press reports.
The House passed the bill 115-0. It will now return to the Senate for agreements on changes, according to the AP.
Under the proposal, people will automatically be registered to vote when they visit Secretary of State's offices and several other state agencies.
People must meet certain conditions and they are allowed to opt out.
