Here's How Chicago Voted On Millionaires Tax, Public Fairgrounds And Other Referendums

CHICAGO — Chicago voters largely support the state implementing an additional tax on millionaires, the creation of a standalone festival grounds and the resumption of gunshot detection technology throughout the city. That’s according to the results of several non-binding ballot referendums Chicagoans had the chance to vote on in Tuesday’s election. Voters got to weigh in on at least six questions, while some also saw ward or precinct-specific ones. Voters answered in the affirmative by wide margins on each ballot measure with more than 90 percent of the city’s 1,291 precincts having reported results as of 11 p.m. Tuesday’s referendums don’t trigger any automatic change in law or policy, but will likely be used by politicians and advocacy groups to make a case for some of the issues and ideas included. Below, read more about the questions and results.
