Referendum questions
Many suburban Chicago voters will be faced with hugely consequential referendums and questions about how their local governments work.
In the 2026 general election, numerous communities will vote on bond issues for school and library construction, while others will be asked whether they should implement term limits for public officials, or even cede the selection of certain officials to various governmental bodies.
A handful of counties will also have advisory questions, including on a potential “Millionaire’s Tax” or whether a consolidation effort should be undertaken for townships, school districts and more.
Here’s a breakdown by county of the referendum questions that will appear on your ballot.
Judge retention recommendations
