Coming Up: 2025 Village Board Elections

Find your electoral district using the Village’s searchable map

Skokie Village Board elections will next occur in 2025 and will include the offices of Mayor, Clerk, At-Large Trustee and District Trustee.

Following the Village Board’s adoption of an implementation plan for three citizen-initiated electoral referendums approved by voters in 2022, the Village has provided a searchable map to help voters quickly and conveniently find their electoral district. The map and other resources are available on the Village Clerk’s Office’s 2025 Elections web page, at skokie.org/2025elections

Changes to Village Board Elections

The 2025 Election will be the Village’s first since voters approved three citizen-initiated electoral referendums that changed Skokie Village Board elections. Changes include:

• Four election districts now exist. One trustee will be elected by voters from each of the Village’s four newly established geographic districts, and two trustees will be elected at-large. In previous elections, all six trustees were elected at-large.

• Municipal elections are now staggered, occurring every two years instead of every four years. Mayor, Clerk and the two At-Large Trustees will be elected to four-year terms in the February 2025 Election. The four District Trustees will be elected to initial two-year terms, followed by four-year terms in the February 2027 Election and every four years thereafter.

• Elections are non-partisan. Candidates will be prohibited from listing any political affiliation on their nominating papers, and no political party affiliation will be listed on the ballot.

Community members can learn more about the changes at skokie.org/electoralchanges.
