Northwest Herald’s Voter Guide to February 2025 primary

Before most McHenry County voters get a chance to cast their ballots this April, Algonquin, Grafton and Nunda townships voters will choose on who will appear on ballot.

There are no contested Democratic primaries this cycle in McHenry County. All the candidates below filed as Republicans, and voters would have to pull a Republican ballot to vote in these races.

The winners of the Grafton Township trustee primary will face three Democrats in April, and in Nunda Township, four independents have filed.
