Judges, county offices and local questions
These are not listed on this page. Judges and regional school superintendents are on the State Board's candidate list. County offices and local ballot questions come from your county clerk or election commission, which also publishes your full sample ballot. In Illinois there is no statewide sample ballot or mail ballot tracker, so both come from your local election office:
- Chicago: Chicago Board of Elections, sample ballot and mail ballot tracking
- Cook County outside Chicago: Cook County Clerk, sample ballot and mail ballot tracking
- DuPage County: DuPage County Clerk, sample ballot
- Lake County: Lake County Clerk, sample ballot and mail ballot tracking
- Will County: Will County Clerk, mail ballot tracking
- Every other county: the State Board's directory of local election offices
How this list is made
- The source is the candidate filing list of the Illinois State Board of Elections for the November 3, 2026 general election, downloaded on October 5, 2026.
- Only candidates the Board lists as active are shown. Candidates it lists as removed or withdrawn are left out.
- Governor and Lieutenant Governor run together, so each pair is one line, with the candidate for Governor first.
- Party names are the Board's. Every candidate is shown the same way: a name and a party, with no photos, endorsements or ratings.
- The list can change if a candidate withdraws or is removed. The Board's own list is the final word.
