2026 Northfield Township Referenda
On May 12, 2026, the Northfield Township Board of Trustees passed three resolutions authorizing three referenda to be submitted to voters at the next election on November 3, 2026. As a public entity, Northfield Township provides this information for educational purposes only and does not take an official position in favor of or in opposition to any referendum question. The decision to approve or reject any measure is solely determined by the voters.
(Note: Binding referenda require specific governmental action if passed, while non-binding referenda are advisory questions used to gauge public opinion.)
The three referendum questions concern:
• Road District: The proposed abolition of the Northfield Township Road District as a separate unit of government and the assumption of its responsibilities by Northfield Township (a binding referendum).
• Unincorporated Waste Management: Whether to assess efficiencies, cost savings, and options for centralized garbage, refuse, recycling, composting, and waste collection service options for unincorporated areas of the Township (a non-binding referendum).
• Food Pantry Pre-Packaged Meals: Whether to explore the possibility of offering pre-packaged meals through the Northfield Township Food Pantry for residents in need (a non-binding referendum).
