The Republicans' time to file to be candidates in the November is over; it’s now time for the Democrats to file. They had until July 3 at noon to file for election and be on the ballot.

Two candidates have filed for re-election to the Town of Pekin Town Council. They are Darlene Anderson Hall and Anthony N. Mosby and will be uncontested.  

Ernie Tuttle has been appointed by the Democrat Party to fill the ballot vacancy as a candidate for County Commissioner District 3. 

David H. Norton has been appointed by the Democratic Party to fill the ballot vacancy of the party for County Commissioner, District 1. His filing has been certified, and he will be on the ballot in November. For clarification, along with his Primary voting history, the party filed a Certification of Support by the Democratic party chair in support of his declaration of candidacy. This is standard practice when someone changes party.
