All 102 counties · General election Tuesday, Nov 3, 2026
Illinois has 102 counties. The 2026 county ballot includes county board seats, county clerk, treasurer and sheriff, regional superintendents of schools, circuit judge vacancies and judicial retention questions, plus water reclamation, sanitary and other districts in some counties. Party nominees were chosen in the March 17 primary.
The State Board of Elections' candidate list covers federal and state offices only; county candidates file with each county clerk (or, in Chicago, the Board of Election Commissioners). Until we check each county's official list, Vote Book uses Ballotpedia's county pages, labeled as a secondary source.
