The importance of participating in local elections cannot be overstated. On Apr 1 2025, citizens are reminded to vote and make their voices heard.

Local elections often see low voter turnout, yet they play a crucial role in determining how local resources are allocated. School boards, villages, townships, libraries, park districts, and community colleges all make decisions that impact property taxes and community services.

Residents can find their polling place by visiting: https://ova.elections.il.gov/PollingPlaceLookup.aspx

"Local elections matter," the reminder emphasizes. It's an opportunity for citizens to influence how their hard-earned money is spent on various local institutions.
