  • 2020 Illinois General Election Results
    2020 Illinois General Election Results DISCLAIMER: All noted races below have not been certified by the Illinois State Board of Elections and are subject to change. With the massive upswing of mail-in-voting this year, it is HIGHLY likely that many races will not be final until all ballots are in. In Illinois, ballots that are post-marked for Election Day have 2 weeks from Election Day to arrive and be counted. As a result, many of the close races noted below could change and we have marked some races as too close to call. The University of Illinois System Office of Governmental Relations will keep you updated as the Illinois State Board of Elections updates these races. Note, the State board of Elections has listed December 4th as its date to certify the vote and publish official results. GRADUATED INCOME TAX AMENDMENT The constitutional amendment allowing the State of Illinois to implement a Graduated Income Tax failed at the ballot box with a vote of roughly 45% in favor and 55% opposed. The constitutional amendment needed a simple majority of all voters in the election to pass it or 60% of people who specifically voted on the amendment. The FY 21 budget negotiated on and passed in May was balanced, in part, on the projected revenues from the new graduated income tax. The consequences of this could be severe for higher education funding, as Gov. Pritzker has noted that there will need to be major cuts to public safety, education and human services in order to close the budget gap.

  • 2020 Election Results
    NEWS FROM THE FRONT - ELECTION EDITION 11/04/2020 Many election day contests in Illinois remain undecided as of Wednesday afternoon. With record-setting vote-by-mail ballots requested this year, the Illinois State Board of Elections is advising that the unofficial vote totals reported on election night may change, perhaps significantly, in the next two weeks. Approximately 587,000 vote-by-mail-ballots were still outstanding as of November 2. The results in many close races may not be known until November 17, after all vote-by-mail and provisional ballots are counted. Final results will be certified by the State Board of Elections on December 4. We will continue to update you as results in individual races are finalized. Graduated Income Tax Fails The statewide ballot initiative to amend the Illinois Constitution to allow for a graduated income tax failed by a vote of 45% of those voting on the question in favor to 55% opposed. CBAI appreciates the strong partnership we have had with the Illinois Farm Bureau, Illinois Retail Merchants and Illinois Manufacturers’ who have banded together over the last year and a half to educate lawmakers and voters about the negative impact a progressive income tax would have on main street employers. CBAI also contributed to and participated in the Coalition to Stop the Proposed Tax Increase which effectively rebuffed efforts to amend the constitution. Governor JB Pritzker supported and strongly advocated for the constitutional amendment to change the Illinois income tax system from a “flat” tax to a “progressive income” tax targeting wealthier Illinoisans.
