Consolidated Election Petitions Now Being Filed

(Undated) – We are just a week removed from the General Election and the next election is just around the corner. Candidates seeking office in the Consolidated Elections started filing their nominating petitions yesterday. The election will feature races for mayor, trustee or alderman, school board, and many other municipal offices. While voter turnout for the Presidential Election broke records turnout for the Consolidated Election is typically very low. Last year Crawford County saw one of the lowest voter turnouts on record, with just eleven percent of registered voters casting ballots. The last day to file nominating petitions in Illinois is Monday, November 18th. The Consolidated Election will be held April 1st 2025.
