Right now most of us are focused on the mid-term elections coming up next week. However, the Illinois Consolidated Election on April 4th is a very important election as well. This will be the time when school districts will select school board members to help guide their local school districts. Spoon River Valley will have 5 positions up for election. One position will be a partial two year term, and 4 positions will be full four year terms. When candidates submit their petitions they will need to declare if they want on the ballot for the two year term or a four year term. Petitions are due to the county clerk’s office between December 12 and 19, 2022. If you have any questions about the elections or need a petition packet, those can all be directed to the Fulton County Clerk’s office in Lewistown as they are responsible for the election.
