Primary Election Day is Tuesday across Illinois, with polls open from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m.
Locally in Wabash County, voters will see just one contested race on the ballot. Five candidates are seeking the Republican nomination for Wabash County Commissioner. Those candidates are Mary Sweppy, Missy Judge, David Brown, Jayden Pettyjohn, and Jaleigh Peterson.
The winner of that Republican primary will run unopposed in the November general election, as Democrats did not field a candidate for the position.
Elsewhere in the region, voters in the Illinois 116th House District will decide the Republican nominee for State Representative, where incumbent Dave Severin is facing a primary challenge from Angela Evans.
Statewide, Illinois voters will also be selecting party nominees for U.S. Senator, Governor, and several other constitutional offices as part of Tuesday’s primary election.
Again, polls will be open from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. Tuesday. Election officials remind voters that anyone in line at 7 p.m. will still be allowed to cast a ballot.
