All Week Long
The Center for Digital Government and Government Technology magazine have once again recognized Cook County as one of the nation’s most digitally advanced counties, naming it eighth in the over-one-million population category of the 2025 Digital Counties Survey. This marks the sixth consecutive year Cook County has earned a spot in the top ten.
The annual survey honors counties that use innovative technology practices to strengthen cybersecurity, enhance services for residents, increase transparency and expand digital equity. The award will be formally presented on July 11 at the National Association of Counties (NACo) Annual Conference in Philadelphia.
“At Cook County, we believe that technology is an essential tool for making government more responsive, equitable and resilient,” said Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle. “From expanding digital translation tools to launching user-focused applications, our work reflects the goals of our Policy Roadmap to foster Connected and Open Communities.”
The county’s Bureau of Technology (BOT) submitted its comprehensive achievements in the 2025 survey, including major strides in digital equity, AI governance, public health data transparency and infrastructure modernization. This year, Cook County launched a multilingual translation solution across multiple websites, improved courthouse Wi-Fi access and integrated payment systems across multiple departments to enhance constituent service and operational efficiency.
