LaSalle County clerk outlines April election preparations, voter-registration system bid and judge pay options
Summary
The LaSalle County clerk told the committee the office is on track for the April consolidated election, has received a single bid for a new voter-registration system and asked the committee for guidance on raising election-judge pay to recruit more workers.
The LaSalle County Clerk (name not specified) told the Tax/Zones/GIS Committee on March 18 that preparations for the April consolidated election are on track but the office still needs dozens of election judges and has received a single bid for a new voter-registration system.
The clerk said roughly half of vote-by-mail ballots sent for the election have been returned and that three vote-by-mail judges have been busy verifying signatures and processing ballots. She described the physical logistics of delivering and retrieving polling equipment and said several township officials have agreed to store and move equipment for some precincts.
The clerk told the committee that Liberty Systems (representative: Alex) submitted the lone bid for a new voter-registration system and that the bid shows a total payment for a one-year 2025 contract of about $181,000. She said the county expects the state IVRS grant to cover conversion costs, installation and license fees, but that she will confirm exact budget and grant details with the state's attorney and in next month’s packet.
