Voters decided local contests for city and village positions, and they also elected school board members. Several referenda were also on ballots in western Illinois.
Here are results for contested elections and for referenda. City, village, and park district positions are listed first, followed by school board contests, and then referenda results.
Please note results are unofficial until counties conduct their canvassing of votes.
In addition, figures from Hancock County don’t include early and mail-in ballots, which could change results. Fulton County results were slow coming in after severe weather moved through the county Tuesday evening.
UPDATE - The list has been updated to include figures from Fulton County.
