Referendum questions typically don’t appear on the ballot, however if lawmakers want something to appear it’s not as arduous a process.

Questions ranging from hot button issues like minimum wage to birth control will appear this November. Illinois Public Radio’s Amanda Vinickey joins us with a rundown of the measures and politics behind these questions. Photo: Flickr/hlkljgk
