What is the process and when is the election?

Riverwoods residents who are registered to vote may submit a completed application and questionnaire by Oct 26. The NomCom will then evaluate the applications to ensure criteria are met before candidates are interviewed by the NomCom on Nov. 14, 2020 at a meeting that is open to Riverwoods residents. This meeting will be held at the Riverwoods Village Hall, 300 Portwine Road, or virtually depending on public distancing requirements at the time.

Following the interviews, the NomCom will nominate candidates for each of the open positions at a closed meeting. On Dec.7 at a public Caucus Town Meeting, Riverwoods residents in attendance vote to elect the slate for the April 2021 Illinois election.
