How frequently is the Illinois Constitution reviewed?

The Illinois Constitution mandates that it is reviewed every 20 years. This provision is in place to ensure that the Constitution remains relevant and continues to meet the needs of the citizens over time. The process for a review involves convening a convention if such a convention is approved by the voters, which allows for consideration of amendments or even a complete revision if deemed necessary. This 20-year review cycle is a means to assess and potentially update the framework of state governance and constitutional rights in Illinois, reflecting societal changes and the evolution of state needs.
