Voter Guide 2019

GLT and the League of Women Voters of McLean County have again partnered to help you make an informed decision at the ballot box for the April 2, 2019, municipal elections.

GLT and the LWV are co-sponsoring two candidate forums in March. You can also learn about the candidates running for Bloomington City Council and Normal Town Council below. Each candidate was asked to complete a questionnaire, drafted by GLT and LWV, covering many of the most important issues facing each council.
