The March 17th Illinois Primary Election is still more than a month away but voters who wish to vote early may do so starting Thursday (February 5, 2026). Bill Pickett has the story…
Vermilion County Clerk Robyn Heffern says Early Voting runs through March 16th. Any registered voter who wishes to cast a ballot prior to Election Day may do so. And you do not have to give a reason for voting early. Once you vote early, however, your vote cannot be changed.
Starting Thursday, voters who live outside of Danville but within Vermilion County can cast their early votes at the Vermilion County Clerk’s Office. The County Clerk’s Office is located on the first floor of the Joseph G. Cannon Building at 201 North Vermilion Street in Danville. If you are a registered voter in Danville and wish to vote early you may do so at the Danville Election Commission Office (starting Thursday). It’s located in the basement of the Cannon Building.
Offices that are on the March 17th Primary Election Ballot include County Clerk, Regional Superintendent of Education, Sheriff, Supervisor of Assessments, County Treasurer, Board of Review and County Board members. The March Primary will decide which candidates will face off in the November General Election. Voters will also cast ballots for Precinct Committeepersons, and the outcome of those races is decided during the Primary Election. Although some people will be casting ballots early, those ballots are not counted until after the polls close in the November 3rd General Election.
