The Kane County Clerk’s Office has posted the list of candidates for the 2019 consolidated election on April 2.

This is a big deal, because the local elections are the ones that affect your day-to-day life most — your local streets and roads, garbage pickup, property tax bill, quality of education for your kids, park amenities, libraries, police and fire protection.

The Clerk’s Office list is helpful, because it gives you a chance to find out who’s on the ballot, where there are contests and what’s at stake in your community. Then you can do your homework and make an informed decision when it comes time to vote.

It’s important for citizens to have this information now, because more than ever, folks are choosing to vote by mail or vote early.

It’s also important because fewer and fewer people are running for local elected offices and fewer are choosing to vote in elections that don’t involve a presidential, congressional or gubernatorial contest.

Citizen participation is essential to democracy and good government — ideals that our nation has fought for, died for and stood for since 1776.
