In addition to the county executive referendum, voters countywide will see two additional referendums on their Nov. 6 ballot.

The first is a binding referendum that seeks to amend Illinois’ Constitution to make it more difficult for elected bodies to enhance public employee pensions. The second is an advisory referendum that asks voters whether politicians should be able to hold more than one elected office at the same time.

The Northwest Herald’s Editorial Board has decided against making a recommendation on the constitutional amendment, though we’ll explain it to voters here.
