Civil Court
Election Code
Candidate for village present in the April 2017 election appeals from circuit court order confirming village elction board decision sustaining objections to his nomination papers. Sections 10-3 and 10-4 of Election Code do not explicitly require that nominating papers of an independent candidate state the candidate's independent status. Board erroneously determined that Plaintiff was required to indicate his independent status on his nominating petitions. (HOWSE and ROCHFORD, concurring.)
