Cook County commissioners meet at the Cook County courthouse. Citizens are welcome—and encouraged— to attend county meetings, as well as meetings of other government entities to learn more about our democratic system.
Do recent events and decisions reported in Cook County News-Herald articles make you want to learn more about town, city, county, or school government? Want to be more involved in local politics? Attend a meeting! Local government entities normally meet as listed below. Occasionally meetings are rescheduled due to holidays or conflicts with other governmental activities, so if you would like to double check when meetings are held, call the numbers listed.
If you want to make sure that you have the opportunity to speak, you should contact the county, city, school, or township office in advance to be placed on the meeting agenda.
