=No change to abortion accessmodel confidence 80%
Expands the category of voters eligible for mail-in ballots to include those in the second or third trimester of pregnancy, in addition to those expecting to give birth within four weeks before or after election day.
(3) will be in the second or third trimester of pregnancy on election day.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Election Code provisions on early voting by mail to expand eligibility for pregnant individuals, including those in the second or third trimester or expecting birth within four weeks of election day. This has no substantive effect on abortion access, fetal personhood, or custody/support rights, but the pregnancy-related provisions touch those topics neutrally via the changes to timing and terminology.
