From the Office of Logan Logan County Clerk Sally Turner
Regarding the February 24 Primary Election for Ward 3 Alderman

[January 03, 2015]  LINCOLN - The city of Lincoln will have one primary election held on February 24, 2015.  There are two people running for the Republican nomination for alderman.  The two on the ballot are:  Wanda Lee Rohlfs and Todd Mourning.

This upcoming Ward 3 Republican Lincoln City Primary will have a polling place change in order to be more cost effective for this election.  The Logan County Courthouse will serve as the polling place for this election only and will serve the voters as in regular elections from 6:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. The polling place will be located inside the judge’s chambers on the first floor of the courthouse and will not require voters to go through the metal detector. Three election judges from Ward 3 have been chosen to serve on that day. The Office of the County Clerk will be open with the same hours for Election Day Grace Period Registration. 

The by mail absentee application for Ward 3 Voters is now available on line at our website at: http://www.co.logan.il.us/county_clerk and can be downloaded and printed for submission. A registered voter can mail, email, hand deliver or fax their request for a ballot into our office no later than February 19.  A voter may vote in person as an Early Voter at the Office of the County Clerk beginning January 15 – through February 23.  If a resident is not registered and would like to vote, they can do so with two forms of identification at Office of the County Clerk through Election Day.

This February 24, 2015 Republican Primary Election is only for Ward 3 voters.  Please call the Office of the County Clerk to check your voting status, or at the aforementioned website.  The cast ballots will be hand counted on Election Day by the Election Judges rather than counted electronically (10 ILCS 5/24-1.2).  Again, this effort is to save our taxpayers hundreds of dollars for this election and is a demonstration of good stewardship of our funds.
