This year, voter in Illinois will decide whether or not to revise the Illinois Constitution. 

The 1970 Illinois Constitution requires the electors of the State to decide,

every 20 years, if it is necessary to revise or rewrite the Illinois Constitution.

In 1988 the electors rejected the call for a constitutional convention,

with 75% voting against and 25% voting in favor of convening a convention.

At the general election to be held on November 4, 2008, the voters

will be called upon to decide whether Illinois should convene a constitutional

convention. For pros and cons to this call, please read the following pamphlet:
