Our ballot was two pages, two sides on one and one side on the one that had all the proposals. One nice thing about Illinois is that they send you any state constitutional amendments in advance by mail with arguments for and against. So with a little additional research on our own, Live-in and I both agreed on how to vote. But I still read the instructions just to double check.
Also, there was a provision on there for the City of Chicago to be able to negotiate lower electricity rates, and they sent that out in the mail in advance, too, so we knew how to vote on that as well.
There was one I hadn't seen before (even when I looked up our ballot in advance) but it wasn't too complicated to understand.
Live-in left to vote just after 6, I left to vote just after 7. He was just getting his ballot whenever I got in line. But it moved faster for me, I didn't wait as long.
