Though the Oak Park Village Board voted not to put the Ranked Choice Voting referendum question on the 2023 ballot, we are hoping that they will have productive study sessions in the new year to feel comfortable with putting it on the ballot in the future. We still are going ahead with our fun social evening to learn about Ranked Choice Voting and to enjoy some outstanding beers from one of our local breweries.The event is this Wednesday, December 14, from 6:30-8:30pm at One Lake Brewing, 1 Lake Street, Oak Park. Tickets are $25, which will include the flight of 4 local brews and some snacks. You can always order your dinner to go along with the beer. Check out their menu here. Buy your tickets here.

It is time to renew your commission as a deputy registrar! All commissions expired on November 30, 2022. Please complete the new Deputy Registrar oath and email it back to deputy.reg@cookcountyil.gov in order to be re-commissioned for another 2 years. You can also mail it back to the address at the bottom of the oath. Once the Cook County Clerk's Office receives the oath, they will mail you a new card (same DR number.) Would you like to watch a refresher video on how a deputy registrar should register voters? Go here.
