Bloomington Voters To Decide Election Commission's Fate

Voters in Bloomington will get to decide if they need their own election office.  A judge yesterday said a ballot question that would end the Bloomington Election Commission can stay on the November ballot.  Bloomington is one of just a handful of cities in Illinois with its own election office.  Republicans and Libertarians in Bloomington-Normal want to close the commission, and let the county's clerk manage elections in all of McLean County.
