The Champaign County Clerk office has posted updated county results including early voting, election day voting, and already processed mail-in ballots. More mail-in ballots will continue to be received over the next 14 days, as long as they were postmarked by November 8th, so countywide races cannot be officially called.
Currently, Democrats are ahead in the County Clerk, Sheriff, and County Executive races. In contested County Board races (Districts 4, 5, and 11), Democrats are also leading. Should those results hold, they will have a 16 to 6 majority on the County Board.
Sam Limentato (R) is currently leading Chad Beckett (D) in the race for Sixth Circuit judge.
