2025 Abbreviated Election Calendar

The only petitions filed with the Bloomington Election Commission are for City of Bloomington and City of Bloomington Township offices. Petitions for all other county offices are filed with the McLean County Clerk. 

The 2025 Candidate’s Guide for the 2025 Consolidated Primary and Consolidated Election will be made available here once they are released by the Illinois State Board of Elections.

Petition packets for candidates will also be made available here once dates and other filing details are vetted and finalized by our office as well as the state board of elections.
