School Board Elections

Prospective school board candidates may visit the Illinois State Board of Elections website for information regarding School Board Elections.

In accordance with changes to the Election Code (10 ILCS 5/1-1 et seq.), prospective school board candidates will no longer file nominating petitions with the school district. Petitions must be filed with the Cook County Clerk's Office. Please contact The Cook County Clerk's Office at (312) 603-1127 for further election-related information. The League of Women Voters of Wilmette also offers additional information for voters and potential candidates.
