Learn About the Candidates - Save page for text below

Information on this page refers to the Municipal Election, April 4, 2023. In a Muncipal Election, voters decide who will serve in city, town, and village government and on school and community college boards.  In some races, candidates are unopposed--only one candidate is running for that office. Some races, however, are contested---there are more candidates running for that office than can hold it.  Your vote helps decide who will serve as our local elected officials for the next four years.  

The Big Picture: What Offices and Candidates Are Involved in the April 4 Municipal Election? 

For an overview of many of the candidates and offices involved in the April 4 Municipal Election, click here to download or view the chart.    Or see this page to Learn About the Municipal Election. LB: may need to revise this section once I figure out how best to do a chart of key racecs/candidates. 

Candidate Guide - Your One-Stop Source for Candidate Information

Picture
Candidate  Guide: Champaign County contested races. VoteChampaign has partnered with LWVCC to compile a Candidate Guide covering contested races in Champaign County.  This site can help you get ready to vote with a minimum of time and effort. Like LWVCC, VoteChampaign is nonpartisan and endorses no candidates. 

The guide features questions and answers from each candidate and includes  links to information provided by candidates - website homepage, social media, email, and phone number - making it easy for a voter to do further research or contact each candidate.  There are also links to any available candiate forum videos. 

 View the Candidate Guide here.

Candidate Forum February 26, 2023 LB: we'll need to replace this graphic. Kanittha was working on one. I'll share what I know about where that stands. Please delete everything else on this page. All we'll have is the Candidate Guide and info about the in-person forum. 

Click each image  below to watch Candidate Forums for these County Elections. Or, go directly to the Candidate Forums and Video playlist on the LWVCC Youtube site to watch them all. ​
