A statewide poll CHANGE Illinois commissioned found that an overwhelming 75 percent of voters support the creation of an independent commission to draw political maps.

The poll of 603 likely Illinois voters was conducted by Fako Research and Margin of Era Opinion Research.

The poll also found voters strongly agree — 74 percent — that Gov. J.B. Pritzker should work to help push for getting a question about the creation of such a commission on the November general election ballot. 

Additionally, survey results show that in our current polarized political environment, a third of likely voters would have a more favorable view of the Governor if he were to actively engage in pushing for the question to be placed on the November ballot.

The poll has a margin of error of +/- 3.99 percent.

CHANGE Illinois leads a coalition of 30 diverse organizations statewide that support the Fair Maps Amendment.

The poll results have been shared with the Governor’s office. We have asked to meet with the Governor to persuade him to fulfill his previous pledges and statements and to help us actively advocate for votes on the Fair Maps Amendment.
