Hello D87 Family,

Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 1 and early voting is available leading up to Election Day.
McLean County has two separate election jurisdictions:
The McLean County Clerk’s Office handles elections for all areas except the City of Bloomington.
Early voting available at the McLean County Clerk’s Office on: Saturday, March 29: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.; Sunday, March 30: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.; Monday, March 31: 8:30 a.m. – 7 p.m.

On Election Day, voters in McLean County will decide on a proposed County Schools Facility Tax (commonly known as a “one-cent tax” or “1% sales tax”) to fund school safety, student support and facility improvements, while providing property tax relief to homeowners by offering an alternative funding source for our schools and all McLean County public schools.
For detailed information about the one-cent tax referendum and how it will impact our schools, visit www.april1cent.info and vote on or before Tuesday, April 1.
