We have many local elections and three ballot proposals.


Turn Your Ballot Over!
There are three important proposals on the back of the ballot:

Proposal Number Two: Allowing the Complete or Partial Forfeiture of a Public Officer’s Pension if He or She is Convicted of a Certain Type of Felony

Proposal Number Three: Authorizing the Use of Forest Preserve Land for Specified Purposes
