The Illinois State Board of Elections voted April 17 to accept the canvass of local returns and proclaim the results of the March 17, 2026 primary election.
Bernadette, who presented the canvas, told the board: "This canvas is compiled from the individual election jurisdictions. They submit their canvas to us. We then proof it, compile it, and create the official canvas to proclaim the results of the recent primary." Chair Donahue asked for the motion and the board approved it on a roll-call vote. Bernadette said a copy of the results would be posted on the agency website and a press release would follow.
The board did not debate the underlying totals during the meeting; members moved to accept the document as presented and to make the proclamation part of the official record. The board’s clerk conducted a roll call that recorded unanimous support.
