Filing locations, dates and times have been finalized for school board candidates running in the April 4th, 2017 Consolidated Election. School board candidates will file with the Cook County Clerk’s office. The candidate filing period is December 12th through 19th, 2016. Approximately, 750 candidates from 145 suburban Cook County school districts are expected to file paperwork to get on the ballot. All candidates who are in line by 8 a.m. on December 12th will have their papers stamped with that time. If more than one candidate seeking the same office files at 8 a.m., a lottery will be conducted to determine whose name will appear first on the ballot. Candidates for the same office who file between 4 and 5 p.m. on Dec. 19, the last day of filing, will also be included in a ballot lottery for the last spot on the ballot. Anyone who files between 8:01 a.m. on Dec. 12 and 3:59 p.m. on Dec. 19 will be on the ballot in the order they turned in their nomination paperwork. For more information, cookcountyclerk.com/RFO.
