Three Questions, One Ballot: Chicago Voters Decide Three Advisory Referendums on Tuesday
Beyond the candidates, Chicago voters on Tuesday will answer three citywide advisory questions — on gunshot detection, a permanent festival and event space, and federal compensation for immigration operations — while a separate Cook County question asks about a millionaire tax.
Tuesday's ballot in Chicago carries more than candidates. City voters will also answer three citywide advisory questions, according to Chicago Urban Daily News' ballot reporting, which corrected an earlier version to separate the city questions from a county one.
The three Chicago questions ask voters their views on gunshot detection, on a permanent festival and event space, and on federal compensation for immigration operations, according to that reporting. A millionaire-tax question is not one of the city's three; it is a separate Cook County question on the ballot.
Advisory referendums do not change the law by themselves; they tell City Hall and Springfield where voters stand. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, with polls open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., and early voting runs through Monday, November 2, at sites across Chicago and suburban Cook County.
