Skokie Term Limits Referendum Wins By Large Margin
SKOKIE, IL — Skokie voters overwhelmingly approved a referendum establishing term limits on village officials, with nearly five out of six supporting the measure on Election Day.
The binding referendum question will limit the village’s mayor, clerk, and trustees to three consecutive four-year terms in the latest initiative-driven shift in local governance. Unofficial results from the Cook County Clerk show 20,184 votes in favor and 3,901 against — a margin of 84 percent to 16.
The measure will restrict the mayor, village clerk, and trustees to three consecutive four-year terms, starting with the 2025 election cycle for at-large positions and the 2027 cycle for district-specific trustee seats.
This change comes as the village board shifts toward staggered terms for trustees and a hybrid of district and at-large representation.
