Welcome to www.Voteforjudges.org for the March 2012 Primary Election.
The voteforjudges.org website and campaign is a judicial voter education effort sponsored by the Chicago Appleseed Fund for Justice. For more information about us, please visit our website at www.chicagoappleseed.org. Our immediate goal is to provide to voters nonpartisan, objective information about the judges running to fill vacancies on the Cook County courts.
In Illinois, judges are elected. People will be voting for judicial candidates on March 20, 2012. Early voting begins on February 27, 2012. Each of these candidates is running to fill a judicial vacancy. We at Voteforjudges.org anticipate that we will have the results from the bar associations on or before February 15th. We will post the results as soon as they are available.
By reading the information and judicial evaluation results found on this website, you can become better informed about the people running for judge. By voting for qualified judges, you can help protect our courts. Please remember that judges make decisions that affect our entire society as well as your well-being. Each judge makes tens of thousands of decisions that can affect nearly everyone. By protecting our courts, you are protecting yourself, your family, and your friends.
Voteforjudges.org believes that the public has a right and a responsibility to know about the qualifications of judges. We have dedicated ourselves to informing voters, in a nonpartisan way, of the qualifications of people running for judge. Judicial elections are often decided by as few as 100 votes. Your vote does make a difference. By reviewing the information on this website, we believe you can make informed decisions about the judicial candidates and help protect our courts.
The Voteforjudges.org website will have judicial evaluation results from all bar associations who investigate, interview, and evaluate judicial candidates. For bar groups that provide them, you will find biographies of the judicial candidates and written explanations of the evaluation results, as well as sample ballots. We thank you for using www.Voteforjudges.org.
