Prepare to Vote
See Your Ballot
Sample ballots are specific to your location. The ballot you request will list all the candidates you can vote for in the Primary Election on June 28, 2022.
The Champaign County Clerk's website has a My Sample Ballot page where you can see/download your sample ballot. This ballot will tell you which candidates you will be able to choose among in the Primary Election. Once you know which candidates you will be selecting from, it's time to learn about candidates and make your choice. Use the information below for several good sources of information.
For other questions call (217) 384-3724 or email (elections@champaigncountyclerkil.gov) the Champaign County Clerk's office. Here's a general page on contacting the Office of the County Clerk. |

Candidate Guide
Candidate Guide: Champaign County contested races (all parties) - VoteChampaign has partnered with LWVCC to compile a Candidate Guide for each of the contested races in Champaign county. This site can help you get ready to vote with a minimum of time and effort.
The guide features questions and answers from each candidate and includes links to each candidate’s homepage, social media, email, and phone number, making it easy for a voter to do further research or contact each candidate. If a candidate has provided a Candidate Video, there's also a link to that video. Like LWVCC, VoteChampaign is nonpartisan and endorses no candidates. |
