These offices will be on the 2026 ballot. In 2022 Democrats only contested in Franklin and Richland Townships.
If the 'Convention' box is "Yes" that means this office will not be on the primary ballot and is instead decided by state delegates at the summer State Democratic Convention. Those elected at convention will be on the November General Election ballot.
In 2026 DeKalb County will likely have 7 state delegates on the primary ballot, as well as all of our Precinct Chair positions will be up for election.
