Voting In Lemont: Everything You Need To Know

In addition to voting on president, some state and local races, voters are being asked to vote on the Graduated Income Tax Amendment.

• A "yes" vote supports repealing the state's constitutional requirement that the state personal income tax be a flat rate and instead allow the state to enact legislation for a graduated income tax.
• A "no" vote opposes this constitutional amendment, thus continuing to require that the state personal income tax be a flat rate and prohibit a graduated income tax.

Cook County races include:

• Cook County State's Attorney: Kim Foxx, Patrick 'Pat' O'Brien, or Brian Deenehy
• Clerk of the Circuit Court: Iris Martinez or Barbara Bellar
