Along with the 2024 candidates and the DuPage County Forest Preserve Referendum, you’ll also be voting on three ballot measures for the State of Illinois.
Take a quick look at the descriptions below, then follow each link to Ballotpedia to get the detailed view of each ballot measure and what it means for Illinois citizens.
Please note: While advisory questions don’t directly change laws, the results inform—and directly impact—how lawmakers choose to pursue policies based on documented public opinion.
As such, it remains critical that we each cast an informed vote so that our reps in Springfield know the mind of the people they represent.
Get in formed. Vote. Stay informed.
