What’s on the 2024 ballot in Illinois?

CHICAGO (CBS) — Election Day is Nov. 5 in Illinois, and early voting is already underway. Besides the race for president, voters in Illinois will decide U.S. House races, state legislative races, and several local elections, including Cook County State’s Attorney and Chicago Board of Education races.
Read below for a look at what’s on the ballot in Illinois.
Illinois has voted for the Democratic ticket in every presidential election since 1988, when George H.W. Bush defeated Michael Dukakis.
Illinois voters statewide will face three advisory referenda on the ballot: the Election Worker Protection Referendum, the Property Tax Relief and Fairness Referendum, and the Assisted Reproductive Health Referendum. As advisory referenda only, they will simply inform elected officials of voters opinions on these issues; approval of any of the referenda will not automatically lead to a change in state laws.
All 17 members of Congress from Illinois are up for re-election in November:
Every member of the Illinois House of Representatives is on the ballot, and several members of the Illinois Senate also are on the ballot.
In addition, there are numerous other local races, including judges in Cook County, the race for Cook County State’s Attorney, and the first-ever election for the Chicago Board of Education.
