Your blank ballot will be initialed by election judges from both political parties before you make your selections. Your vote is private. Once you have made your selections and your ballot is complete, you will personally cast your ballot.

Mis- and Dis-information can take many forms. It's more important than ever to check the facts and not take for granted that the messages you are exposed to are true. Visit lwvckcil.com/voting-facts to view or download the LWV of Illinois Voting Facts Infographic. #LWV #LWVIL #LWVCKC
