Today's election is important because the winners will determine the taxes you pay, the services you receive and whether your town, schools, parks and libraries thrive or slip into a black hole. Watch Patch.com's election results tonight!

 

Drum roll, please. Election Day, Tuesday April 9, has arrived.

You'll be voting for mayor, trustees, park board commissioners, school board members, library trustees, township trustees, Oakton Community College trustees, and on three referendum questions.

Doesn't sound as sexy as a presidential election? Maybe not, but it affects you more directly. School boards account for 70 percent of your property tax bill, so know that the people you elect today have great power to raise your taxes or hold the line on increases.

Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Click here to find your polling place.
