Chicago Heights Elections: Your Ballot

Instead of doling out the candidates for different elections like we originally planned, we've decided to make voting preparations even easier by pushing out three articles detailing what you can expect to see on the ballot April 5.

We're starting with Chicago Heights, followed by Olympia Fields (tomorrow) and South Chicago Heights (Friday).

Chicago Heights doesn't have any referendums on the ballot, but there are three write-in candidates.

Everything on our list will appear on your ballot with a few exceptions. Only the school district, park district or city ward you live in will appear on your ballot. Park district wards two, five and six are not up for election, therefore if you don't live in those wards, you will not be voting for a park district commissioner.
