Governor Pat Quinn signed legislation that gives candidates more time to file petitions for the April 9, 2013 election. Previously, the final date to submit petitions fell on December 24, 2012. While Christmas Eve is not a state holiday, some local election authorities are traditionally closed, potentially hindering timely petition filing or resulting in additional unplanned expenses to local authorities. The new law extends the final date to file petitions to December 26, 2012.
A school board candidate’s petition must be filed in the Office of the Board Secretary, 780 Shoreline Dr., Aurora, no earlier than 8:00 a.m. on Monday, December 17, 2012 and no later than 5:00 p.m., Wednesday, December 26, 2012.
Revised office hours for filing are:
• December 17 through 21, 2012 (8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)
• December 26, 2012 (1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.)
