A handful of Illinois counties will get to vote on this question in November, kind of. The question is on separating Cook County from the rest of the state and creating a new state. Seven counties will have this question on their ballots this November. Iroquois County (south of Kankakee, North of Danville and Champaign) is the most northern county participating. Greene, Jersey, Calhoun, Madison, Clinton and Perry counties will also weigh in.
