Who Do I Vote for?

As a non-profit, the HNA cannot endorse candidates, but we can give you non-partisan tools to help you decide. See our list below to help you understand what is on the ballot and who is running for office.

Go to https://ballotpedia.org/Sample_Ballot_Lookup > to view a sample ballot for your area

BallotOPedia.org shows you what’s on YOUR ballot, based on your residence location (the address where you registered to vote)

 

From InjusticeWatch.Org: “Judges are powerful officials whose decisions on the bench touch many aspects of life, from traffic tickets to divorces, lawsuits, evictions, and criminal cases. They have the power to take someone’s freedom, enforce or overturn state laws, and correct or perpetuate injustices. Yet there are few places to get information about the people running for judge…. This year, 61 judges are running for retention in Cook County. Voters will be asked whether each judge should remain on the bench. A judge must receive 60% “yes” votes to keep their seat.”

 

Where Can I Vote?

Anyone can vote in these locations. Here are the closest locations to Hermosa for both Early Voting AND Election Day voting:

  • 26th Ward - Humboldt Park Library, 1605 N. Troy St.

  • 30th Ward - Kilbourn Park, 3501 N. Kilbourn Ave.
