Illinois

To qualify as a write-in candidate in the entire state of Illinois, the candidate has to submit a “Declaration of Intent to be a Write-in Candidate” form to every jurisdiction (i.e. County) in the state and with each of the 8 Board of Elections Commissioners. There are 102 Counties in Illinois, so the candidate needs to file 110 forms total. Each one has to be signed and notarized individually. The Declaration of Intent form is available from the Illinois State Board of Elections. Call (312) 814-6440.

The candidate can also submit the Declaration of Intent forms only to those counties in which he/she wants to run. Here are the 10 most populous counties in Illinois, plus Chicagoโ€™s own board of elections:

  1. Hi,

  2. One other small detail: Anyone who has lost a party-affiliated primary or caucus is ineligible to run as a write-in candidate, unfortunately.
