DeKalb County’s unofficial April 2025 election results

Who is leading in local DeKalb County elections

New voting booths are ready on the first day of early voting Thursday, May 19, 2022, at the polling place in the DeKalb County Legislative Center in Sycamore. Any registered voter in DeKalb County may choose to vote early, in person or through the mail, ahead of the June 28 primary election.

Voters in DeKalb County determined this election who will make the important decisions regarding their communities, schools, townships, fire departments, parks and libraries.

Tuesday marked the last day mail-in ballots had to arrive at county clerk’s offices and still be counted. Provisional ballots also had to be addressed by that time.

Totals for all counties will be made official next week after they are canvassed.
