Cook County School Board Candidates’ Filing Locations Announced for April 2, 2019, Election
Since the change in the law providing for school board candidate filings to be handled by the County Clerk rather than at the local school districts, the Cook County Clerk has been able to handle the volume of filings by using multiple sites in the suburbs, as well as the Clerk’s central office in Chicago. Last week, the Cook County Clerk announced where those temporary filing sites will be this year. These temporary filing locations in Orland Park and Prospect Heights will be open for filings only on the first day for filing, December 10, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.:
| Orland Park Civic Center 14750 Ravinia Avenue Orland Park, IL |
Rob Roy Golf Course 505 E. Camp McDonald Road Prospect Heights, IL |
The following Cicero and Chicago locations will be open for the entire filing period of December 10 through 17, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.:
| Elections Operations Center 1330 S. 54th Avenue Cicero, IL |
Cook County Clerk’s Office 69 W. Washington, Pedway Level Chicago, IL |
With respect to the Chicago location, filings will be on the 5th Floor rather than on the Pedway Level on each day after December 10.
Also note that the South Suburban location in Orland Park and the West Suburban location in Cicero are different than the ones used in the last two election cycles.
