There are plenty of candidates running for various offices this year, and we thought we’d help them out by reminding them of some basic, common-sense rules established by the Illinois State Board of Elections (ISBE) for transparent, full disclosure campaigning.
These rules apply to first time candidates or those currently in office.
Campaign Signs and Websites
Political campaign signs must, “…clearly identifies the committee as having paid for it.” The example shown above does not, and that’s an ISBE No-No (even if it does have a union label on it).
If omissions occur, the candidate committee could opt to replace the signs, affix labels to signs with corrected campaign disclosure or possibly face objection(s) filed with the ISBE by doing nothing.
Campaign websites (such as a portion of the one above) should also clearly state the name of the committee that paid for it.
Those who have run for office before should know these rules. We’re just looking out for those new to campaigning.
Either way, the Illinois State Board of Elections website can be found here.
If you’re surprised don’t be. He doesn’t care about Riding Center transparency so why would he at the village level? The Riding Club will turn out the vote for him though because lord knows they admire loyal liars.
