House Bill 4077, sponsored by Rep. Naomi Jakobsson, was signed yesterday by Gov. Quinn.  I testified on behalf of this legislation earlier this year.  The bill eases the identification requirements for first time voters who register through the mail.  Under this law, college students will be able to use a lease  along with their student ID to be able to cast a ballot in their first election.  I wrote about some of the challenges of this law here and here.
