Throughout the past
two weeks in The
Glencoe Anchor,
you’ve heard from candidates
from the Glencoe
Village Board, Glencoe
District 35 School Board
and the New Trier District
203 School Board.
There’s been a lot of
information to read, but I
hope you’ve been able to
sift through it and learn
more about your public
officials. This marks our
last pre-election 2019 issue
before the polls on April 2.
While we won’t have
any more election stories
via print, you can always
turn to our social media
pages (@GlencoeAnchor)
and our site, glencoeanchor.com,
to find the latest
news and letters to the
editor.
During this grace period
before we publish our
post-election stories, I
urge you to finish reading
about the candidates
presented to you and come
to the polls as an informed
voter.
On Election Day, tune
into our socials and site to
find up-to-date information
as polls close, as well.
I also found some
helpful Election Day tips
for you on the Village of
Glencoe site:

should note that there are
multiple polling locations
in Glencoe. Please confirm
your polling location prior
to election day.
• The three polling
