Illinois 2024: Three Questions on the Ballot

Written by David E. Smith

Earlier this year, Gov. JB Pritzker urged the Democrats in the General Assembly to pass legislation placing three advisory questions on our ballots for the upcoming election. Every voter in the state of Illinois will have the options of voting either Yes or No.

These questions are non-binding, meaning they simply act as an official poll of voters to guide state lawmakers on public opinion regarding questions of policy, but do not directly change law. It’s then left up to the Illinois General Assembly to acts on the results.

The following video features three different experts who address these ballot questions and explain why they urge voters to vote NO on each of them. Illinois Family Institute and Illinois Family Action are urging voters to vote NO on all three of these questions.

A great big “thank you” to Carol Davis, Ed Ronkowski and Dr. Mark Zumhagen for taking time to explain why voters should vote NO!

Here are the three questions, as they’ll appear on your ballot:

1.) Should any candidate appearing on the Illinois ballot for federal, state or local office be subject to civil penalties if the candidate interferes or attempts to interfere with an election worker’s official duties?

2.) Should the Illinois Constitution be amended to create an additional 3% tax on income greater than $1,000,000 for the purpose of dedicating funds raised property tax relief?

3.) Should all medically appropriate assisted reproductive treatments, including but not limited to in vitro fertilization, be covered by any health insurance plan in Illinois that provides coverage for pregnancy benefits, without limitations on the number of treatments?
