Ballot Measures
In addition to local referendums, voters across Illinois will all see the same three advisory questions on their ballots.
Advisory means just that, the results of the questions are not legally binding but lawmakers may weigh them when considering policies and potential legislation.
- Should any candidate appearing on the Illinois ballot for federal, State, or local office be subject to civil penalties if the candidate interferes or attempts to interfere with an election worker's official duties?
- Should the Illinois Constitution be amended to create an additional 3% tax on income greater than $1,000,000 for the purpose of dedicating funds raised to property tax relief?
- Should all medically appropriate assisted reproductive treatments, including, but not limited to, in vitro fertilization, be covered by any health insurance plan in Illinois that provides coverage for pregnancy benefits, without limitation on the number of treatments?
Here’s a look at the process used to place the questions on the ballot, and more details on a measure several counties in central and downstate Illinois have placed on the ballot asking voters about separating Cook County from the rest of the state.
