Petition season has begun for all non-presidential candidates (presidential petitioning starts October 7th). If we want candidates, we need to give them a hand getting on the ballot. Anyone over the age of 18 by 11/3/2020, who is a citizen, who lives in Illinois can be a collector. Please check out this video podcast to learn how.
Also, please check out this document that explains how to gather petitions.
At the PC meeting on Thursday 9/5, judicial candidate David Stevens shared his experience and summarized the rules of circulating petitions. (He will also talk about petitions at our Sept.16 LTDO meeting.) Here is a summary of his information.
We have 3 drop off locations for candidate materials like petitions, walk cards, business cards, and yard signs. Please treat the hosts with respect as they are just volunteers trying to help get Democrats elected. (Ultimately it is up to the hosts to carry your literature as we are all volunteers.) Please try not to be going after 10PM and before 6AM because you will be waking their dogs up (and by extension their families). If you want our PCs to have your literature it is your responsibility to get it to a drop point or a meeting.
