2021 Illinois Consolidated Election

On Tuesday, April 6, Illinois voters across the state will selected representatives for city councils, mayors, school boards, park boards and other local elected officials during the Illinois Consolidated Election.

Local government makes a difference in all our lives, from providing basic city services to valuing the people who provide those services. That’s why AFSCME works to help elect local officials who will stand up for working families.

The majority of candidates endorsed by the AFSCME PEOPLE program won their races in the primary and general consolidated local elections on February 23 and April 6, including two AFSCME members.
