Olympia Fields Elections: Your Ballot

A list of every candidate that will appear on the Olympia Fields ballot on April 5.

Yesterday we gave you a sneak preview of what you can expect to see on the Chicago Heights election ballot April 5. Today we're providing the candidates and voting rules for residents of the other side of Western Avenue.

Olympia Fields, unlike Chicago Heights, will have a referendum on the ballot. Chicago Heights Patch reported on this referendum , when the Olympia Fields Park District board voted to add it.

Because the language in that referendum may be difficult to sift through, we'll get right to the candidates today and post the referendum, along with a detailed explanation from park district officials separately.
