The Goal for this website is to present non-partisan information for the local governments of the Champaign-Urbana area. This would include city councils and township bodies.
This is a sister website to the
Cheat Sheet of Champaign County which has information on Champaign County government.
Goals:
- Easy to use
- Information about elected officials
- Information for upcoming elections and candidates
- How to participate and get involved in local government
- Issue information
Primary elections for the 2018 midterms are currently ongoing -
Early and Mail-in-Voting already started for the March 20th, 2018 Primary. Many
County offices are on the ballot this year, whereas local offices tend to be in off year elections (odd years that are neither mid-terms or presidential election years). I hope to have plenty of useful information here well before then so that people can get the most out of the election: whether that be informed voting, volunteering with a campaign or issue group, or running for office themselves if they're feeling bold.
It's your government. We get what we put into it.
I just discovered this wonderful site and am curious about who does all the work to maintain it?
ReplyDeleteIt's a non-partisan project started by the local C-U Indivisible organization's County Group. A lot of folks worked on the initial research, organization, and meeting attendance. We still work with a lot of local organizations to stay updated and keep others updated on what's going on.
DeleteCurrently I'm way way way behind on website updates on the most recent meetings (and several broken/old links that need updating).
