Illinois term limit battle could end Friday

Illinois Republican gubernatorial hopeful Bruce Rauner‘s last chance at getting term limits on the November ballot may come to an end Friday, the last day the Illinois State Board of Elections has to certify the November ballot.

Rauner, who is challenging incumbent Gov. Pat Quinn, has made term limits a key cornerstone of his campaign. The Illinois businessman, who is chairman of the Committee for Legislative Reform and Term Limits, delivered nearly 600,000 signatures to have a term-limit initiative holding Illinois politicians to eight years in office on the ballot. However, it was struck down.
