Local Candidate Roundup - UPDATED

UPDATE: Latest post with more information and links 3/27/2019: Candidate Information



It's catch up time for the Cheat Sheet! We've been running behind, but will have a bunch of overviews of February local government information as we get swinging in March. A quick reminder that early voting for the April 2nd municipal elections has already begun:
The first early-voting opportunities will be at one Champaign County location only — the county clerk's office in Brookens Administrative Center, 1776 E. Washington St., U.

Eight other locations in Champaign-Urbana, Mahomet, St. Joseph, Rantoul and Tolono will be available for early voting starting March 27, and will be open through Election Day.
More information at the full News-Gazette article here and the Champaign County Clerk's website here. The Champaign County Voter Alliance has a candidate guide here.
