How to run
22Days left to file
The next seats are decided at the 2027 Consolidated Election on April 6, 2027. Nomination papers are filed October 19, 2026 through October 26, 2026 — the 2027 Consolidated Primary Election's filing window, which this body uses.
- File with
- Town of Normal, Town Clerk (Uptown Station)
- Signatures
- Set by a formula in state law; ask the Town Clerk for this election's number.
- You must be
- A registered voter living in the municipality, for at least one year before the election.
- Not in arrears on any debt to the municipality.
- Not convicted of a felony, bribery, perjury or other infamous crime.
- Nonpartisan. Three council seats are on the April 2027 ballot; the mayor's term runs to 2029.
- Council candidates file October 19–26, 2026. A February 23 primary is held only if necessary.
- A complete filing is the notarized Statement of Candidacy, the bound and numbered petition sheets (each with a notarized circulator's statement), and the receipt for your Statement of Economic Interests, which you file with the county clerk first.
- Raising or spending more than $5,000 in any 12 months means forming a political committee with the State Board of Elections and filing reports.
- Anyone may object to your petitions within five business days after filing closes; a filing that is short of signatures or missing a form can be struck.
