Important Message to All Registered Voters: Tuesday, April 7th is the date of the Illinois Consolidated Election. I feel it is very important that you exercise your “Right to Vote.” Candidates running in local and municipal and school board elections have the single most important impact on your tax amount and on how your local property taxes are spent! Registered voters throughout McHenry County will have the opportunity to cast ballots for several positions and offices including: • Community College Trustees • School Board • City Councils • Library Districts • College Trustees • Village Officials • City Mayor • Park Districts • Municipal • Referendums • Fox Waterway Director • Fire Districts • Regional School Board These candidates elected on April 7th will set policy for issues and laws within McHenry County.
Remember, your vote matters! Election Update: Illinois State Legislators have mandated Electronic Poll Books at all Election Sites in 2016. This will create faster processing at Election sites & results.
Please VOTE!
It’s your right. It’s your responsibility.
