Village highlights neighborhood navigator tool and consolidated election schedule

Committee members and staff described improvements to the village website’s Neighborhood Navigator, which allows residents to enter an address to find local information — district, trustee, school district and maps — and said a separate dedicated Neighborhood Navigator section is being built to expand that functionality.

Clerk or staff read the consolidated-election schedule for 2027: the consolidated election will be held Tuesday, April 6, 2027; petition circulation began Aug. 25, 2026; candidate packets are available at Village Hall; the first date to file nomination papers is Nov. 16, 2026, and the last date to file is Nov. 23, 2026. Staff advised prospective candidates to consult the Illinois State Board of Elections and DuPage County election resources for specific signature-count guidance and deadlines.

Staff said the village will provide basic guidance and links on the website but will not calculate signature requirements for petitioners because those figures vary by district and are defined by state law.
