Ballots
In a primary election, you may ask for a "REFERENDUM ONLY" ballot if you don't wish to declare a party.
ON ALL BALLOTS - you will see two referendum questions under "Public Questions." The first is a County-Wide referendum issue and the second referendum is titled "To the Voters of School District Number 90." The language is lengthy and required by law. Look for "School District No. 90" in the language. Please vote YES!

If you want to vote in the March 21, 2006 election, you must be registered to vote. If you've moved within River Forest, you need to re-register. The initial deadline for registration was February 21, 2006.
