Commissioner Applications.... for "Election Commission"

Update- We won a preliminary injunction to allow our Clerk to administer the elections and prevent Judge Foreman from appointing an election commission. So, why I appreciate those of you that applied, all is on hold until we have our day in court on this issue.

I am hopeful however our state legislators will fix this matter and put it to rest when they return to Springfield removing this "Gotcha" legislation for Lake County...

 If we are unsuccessful in stopping this pitiful legislation, HB2418 requires Chief Judge Foreman to appoint a five member "Election Commission" which will over see elections in Lake County.

The News Release issued by Chief Judge Foreman sets forth the process required by law. Applications and other forms are available on the site and must be returned by August 16th to conform to the timeline laid out by the HB2418 legislation.

If you wish to apply for the position of "Election Commissioner" you need to do so immediately to fall within timeline. Requirements prevent those that currently hold elected office or have held an elected office within the last 2 years from being a "Election Commissioner".

Chief Judge Foreman must appoint the five commissioners by end of August and the "Election Board" must be up and running by the end of October.
