Make educated decisions and protect our courts
Voteforjudges.org, brought to you by Chicago Appleseed Fund for Justice, is a nonpartisan website designed to give voters of Cook County the information they need to make informed choices about judges on the November 4th general election ballot.
On the November 4th ballot, 70 judges will be seeking retention in addition to the several contested subcircuit judicial races. At voteforjudges.org, voters will find evaluations for judges and judicial candidates from 11 bar associations (including those of the Council) and by the Suburban Bar Coalition. Voters will also find information about judicial elections and media articles about the judicial races.
When it comes to learning about our judges, don't wait until the election is over. We hear too often from people who say that they would have voted for the judges if they had sufficient information. Voteforjudges.org is your online guide to the judicial portion of the ballot. Get educated now, before you enter the voting booth tomorrow.
Special thanks to the Herb Block Foundation for funding our voter education campaign.
