Learn About the Candidates
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.

Candidate Forum February 26, 2023
A consortium of five local civic organizations and the News-Gazette joined together to hold a town hall-type forum on February 26, from 1:30-5:30, for all candidates in the races for Champaign mayor, Champaign City Council, and Champaign Unit 4 School Board. There was also an informal meet & greet opportunity with Parkland College Board of Trustees during the last half hour.
The consortium consists of League of Women Voters of Champaign County, ILVOTE of Champaign County, NAACP Champaign County Branch, Bend the Arc Jewish Action: Champaign-Urbana, and Indivisible Rural Illinois.
The forum took place at the Champaign Public Library. The three Champaign municipal races each had their own time for prepared statements from all the candidates and a moderated Q&A session. After each session, attendees mingled with the candidates.
If you missed this event, the videos are available on the LWVCC YouTube site.
