On October 29, 2019, the Evanston City Council passed a resolution instructing the City Clerk to place a referendum on the March 17, 2020 ballot asking voters to approve nonpartisan elections for the positions of mayor, city alderman, and city clerk. Although Evanston has historically conducted most of its elections on a nonpartisan basis, Illinois constitutional requirements mandate that residents formally approve such elections through a binding referendum. The referendum would allow these municipal offices to be elected without party affiliation designations, effective with the 2020 election and thereafter.
