Tomorrow Is Election Day; Polls Open 6am-7pm
It's Election Eve as polls in Illinois will be open tomorrow from 6am to 7pm. If you can't vote tomorrow, you have one last chance to cast a ballot today between 8 and 4 in the county clerk's office at the courthouse. There is one local race on the Wabash County ballot tomorrow as county commissioner Tim Hocking is defending his seat from a challenge by democrat Robbie Moore.
But the biggest hot button item on the ballot is a $3.5 million bond issue the city of Mt. Carmel is seeking to help build a new aquatics center. Mayor Joe Judge has worked to push the referendum which has been met with a flood of social media criticism. Mt. Carmel is currently without a pool after the Illinois Department of Public Health earlier this year said the pool couldn't operate in 2025 without undergoing millions of dollars improvements. Judge has said it would be cheaper to build a new pool rather than bring the 1938 structure up to code.
Our election night coverage starts at 6pm tomorrow night.
