Nonpartisan information about voting in Illinois can be found at the Illinois Voter Guide, https://illinoisvoterguide.org/. Since the IVG is not contractually obligated to profile candidates for the Elmhurst Park District Board of Park Commissioners, the LWV Elmhurst planst to create a voter guide specific to that race on our website. Please check back for updates!
