About This Referendum
Illinois lawmakers currently draw federal and state district maps every 10 years after the Census. This process has led to concerns about gerrymandering, where political boundaries are shaped to benefit one party over another. An independent citizens commission would shift map‑drawing power away from politicians and toward a citizen‑led group using Census data and public input.
Note: The explanation linked below comes from Oak Park’s 2024 referendum, which used the same question. The information still applies to the Joliet Township referendum. Please confirm details with trusted election sources.
