Prior to each filing period, candidate filing information is available on our website. Also, the State Board of Elections publishes a Candidate Guide that includes most of the required filing forms.

  • Election results are posted on election night, as soon as they are available, on our website. Also, past election results from 1936 to present are also are on our website.

    Before 1983, the only Election Results available are the Primary and General Election results. All local races such as cities, schools or townships were administered by the local government unit so all files such as results for those Elections are not on file with the County Clerk’s office.

  • Pollwatchers must be registered to vote in the State of Illinois and possess valid credentials (signed by a party chair or candidate who appoints them). Every pollwatcher must give their credentials to the judges when they enter the polling place. If you are poll watching a polling place with more than one precinct, you will need to have a credential for each precinct you want to watch. Candidates, political parties, civic organizations, and organized proponents and opponents of a ballot proposition are appointing authorities for poll watchers.

    For more information on being a pollwatcher, visit the pollwatcher information page.

  • The election office provides a variety of printed and electronic information to candidates including: Precinct Lists, Labels, Count Reports, past election results and more. You may call the office at (217) 854-3214.
