voter guide
Oak Park elections

April 2, 2019

Activist Toolkit has collaborated with Oak Park Call to Action and other community partners to build a comprehensive voter guide for the April 2, 2019 elections in Oak Park.  The sections linked below allow voters to explore links to relevant articles, video from candidate forums, and individual candidates' websites and Facebook pages.  In addition, each candidate was given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire developed by members of the Oak Park community.

This guide will be updated with additional content as it appears. Please contact us here with questions or concerns.
