Spotlight Elevate Engage

10/24/2026

This is a good weekend to get out and vote! Already voted? Encourage your friends and neighbors to vote. Make sure Park Ridge residents know that early voting is now taking place at the Centennial Activity Center (not City Hall). If you know a new voter, share resources to help them plan their vote. (Tools that help them learn about judicial candidates can be especially helpful.) Find links to reliable resources in our Election Guide. Link in our bio.
