Candidates running for an office will submit their paperwork with the appropriate local election authority (village clerk, township clerk, park, library and community college secretaries or their designee). Candidates for school board will submit their paperwork to the County Clerk’s office. Prospective candidates must file their petitions between October 21st and October 28th for the Consolidated Primary Election and between November 12th and November 18th for the Consolidated Election.

“It’s extremely important that prospective candidates learn about the qualifications and requirements for a particular office, gather enough valid signatures and correctly submit the necessary paperwork so they don’t get removed from the ballot,” Hendrickson said.  “Many potential candidates aren’t always familiar with the process and make mistakes that jeopardize their candidacies.”
