Normal’s Electoral Board laid out the ground rules Monday for how it will decide whether a politically charged ballot question on overhauling town council elections makes it to the ballot in November.
A Normal resident has filed an objection to a petition effort to overhaul how voters elect Town Council members, arguing that supporters have misinterpreted state law and not collected enough signatures.
A petition effort in Normal is aimed at potentially changing the town council’s at-large representation system to one that is district-based. It's raising questions among some residents regarding the timing and political point of origin.
