It’s going to be a busy election in Kane County come April 7.

That’s because it’s the municipal consolidated election, when so many of the truly important local races take place. That includes, but is hardly limited to school boards, library boards, park boards, city council or village board positions, townships … you get the idea.

School Board candidates are among that important group, and many gathered at the Kane County Clerk’s Office Monday, Dec. 15, to file for the elections. Candidates have until Dec. 22 to submit a petition.

The Kane County Clerk’s Office website is a great resource to find out who has filed, so far. The page is updated each day, so you can keep track of who is filing in the school district in your neck of the woods.

As of Tuesday, Dec. 16:

• Six candidates are running for four seats in Kaneland School District 302.
• One person has filed for the three open seats in St. Charles School District 303.
• Four have filed for the three open seats in Geneva School District 304.
• Six candidates so far are vying for six seats on the Elgin School District U-46 Board of Education, but no candidates have thrown their hat into the ring for the single two-year term that remains open.
• Batavia School District 101 has the most candidates so far: eight vying for three open seats.
• In  Community School District 300, two candidates so far are in the race for three seats.
• Three are seeking the four, four-years positions in  Central School District 301.

Because many of the candidates filed at 8:30 a.m. Monday, Director of Elections Suzanne Fahnestock will hold a lottery at 10 a.m. Friday at the Kane County Clerk’s Office to determine ballot placement.

If you are a Kane County registered voter, excluding the city of Aurora, you may vote during in-person Early Voting for the 2015 Consolidated Election beginning on Monday, March 23, 2015, through Sunday, April 5, 2015.

Early voting locations and dates for the 2015 Consolidated Election will be posted soon.
