PLAINFIELD, IL — With early voting and voting-by-mail numbers reaching record levels, many residents are indicating that they're very interested in the Nov. 3 election. Several mail-in voting drop boxes were installed around Will County, including one at Plainfield Library.

Early voting in Illinois began last month, although early voting in-person in Plainfield began on Oct. 19.

In addition to voting on president, some state and local races, voters are being asked to vote on the Graduated Income Tax Amendment.

  • A "yes" vote supports repealing the state's constitutional requirement that the state personal income tax be a flat rate and instead allow the state to enact legislation for a graduated income tax.

  • A "no" vote opposes this constitutional amendment, thus continuing to require that the state personal income tax be a flat rate and prohibit a graduated income tax.
