Lottery set for Lake County school races

Daily Herald report

The Lake County clerk's office will conduct a lottery at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 29, in the Lake County main courthouse lobby, 18 N. County St., Waukegan, to determine order of the school board and Lake County Regional Board of School candidates' names on the April 6 ballot.

A lottery is required when two or more candidates file nominating papers for the identical office through 9 a.m. the first day and the last hour of the last day of filing. The filing period was Dec. 14-21.

Since candidates seeking office in a municipality, park district, community college, waterway management agency, or fire protection district file directly with that local unit of government, each district will hold its own lottery, if necessary. Those seeking office as Lake County Regional Board of School trustee or school board member filed with the Lake County clerk, per state election law.

A current April candidate list is available at LakeCountyClerk.info and will be updated as new candidate information becomes available.
