APRIL 7, 2017 - CONSOLIDATED GENERAL ELECTION
We have to wait for two weeks for late arriving ballots (April 18th) and those will be added in the afternoon of the 18th. The CANVASS OF RESULTS will be done on April 19th - for results click here and for Rend Lake College click here. Districts can pick up canvassed results on the 19th in the afternoon (unless you overlap with other counties that I have to wait on results from them). If results are not picked up on the April 19th and I have not received a call to hold them, results will be mailed on April 20th. For the list of term beginning dates click here.
