Join the Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce, the Illinois League of Women Voters, and the Illinois Farm Bureau, April 1st at 10:30 am as we make a final push to change the current redistricting process in our state.

The Illinois Fair Map Amendment would take the map drawing process out of the direct hands of the politicians and turn it over to a bipartisan, independent commission with full transparency. However, to get this constitutional amendment on the November 2nd ballot we need 282,000 valid registered voters to sign petitions by the end of April.

On April 1st, we will be handing out petitions as well as collecting and notarizing completed petitions. To download your own a petition form, visit www.ilfairmap.com for more information on the local efforts go to: http://www.heartlandpartnership.org/content/take-back-illinois-event. A similar event will be happening in Chicago at the same time.
