49th Ward residents aged 14 and older (regardless of citizenship status) once again have the opportunity to vote in the 49th Ward's participatory budgeting process.  Participatory Budgeting is a democratic system that empowers people in determining how their tax dollars are spent.

For those wishing to vote online, simply fill out an online registration form by clicking the button below, and a staff member will respond with the voting site link. Those wishing to vote in person can do so at the 49th Ward office during office hours, at our 49th Ward Town Hall on Wednesday November 4th at Gale Community Academy 1631 W Jonquil Terrace starting at 6pm. Please note that the online voting system is not automated; rather, office employees will be verifying the information. This may result in a delay from the time you submit the registration form to when you receive the link.
