About this Article

Local election officials likely won't have to wait around on Christmas Eve for candidates to file for office and have to pay out thousands of dollars in overtime costs because of a proposal awaiting Gov. Pat Quinn's signature. The bill would make the last day of filing for local races Dec. 26, instead of Dec. 24.
