The public voting period for the Illinois state flag redesign contest has kicked off and will run through Feb. 14.
Illinoisans can choose to vote for one of the Illinois Flag Commission’s top 10 new designs, or one of three former flag designs, including the current one.
“Now is the time to make your voice heard and I encourage folks to join the process by voting for the flag that they feel best represents our great state,” said Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, whose office will conduct the public vote. “The public feedback received during this period will help guide the General Assembly’s final decision on the future of our state’s flag later this year.”
