Volunteers Needed!
  MAILING LIST:

VOTE Lake Bluff, an all-volunteer community organization, requires a sufficient number of volunteers to ensure our Town Meetings run smoothly. How can you participate? Please consider joining our Administrative Committee or any one of many sub-committees. Your time commitment can be minimal, and choice of involvement is up to you. If you are interested in our community and would like to volunteer, please send us an email at votelakebluff@gmail.com.

VOTE Lake Bluff is an open, non-partisan, volunteer committee of voters from Lake Bluff and the unincorporated areas of Knollwood and Arden Shores. The purpose of our Town Meetings in December of even numbered years is to identify and support candidates for positions of trust and responsibility on elected boards for our village, library, schools, and park district. All registered voters of these districts are invited to attend, listen to the candidates, and then sign Candidate Nomination Petitions required to be on the April Consolidated Election Ballot in the subsequent odd numbered year.

April 4, 2023 Consolidated Election

for the Election of:


- Village of Lake Bluff

- Lake Bluff Park District

- Lake Bluff Library

- School Districts #65 & #115

Are you interested in serving on one of our local boards?


September 20th was the first day to circulate candidates’ nominating papers (packets) for the April 4th, 2023, Consolidated Election for our village, park district, library, and schools. So, it is time to start planning, and the next VOTE Lake Bluff Town Meetings for that election will be held December 6th and 7th, 2022. Our Town Meetings are open to all, giving the public the opportunity to hear directly from candidates in advance of the 2023 Election. Thank you for your continued support of VOTE Lake Bluff, helping us to identify candidates for positions of trust and responsibility within our community
