Deadline changed for write-in filing

Because of a new law, the deadline for filing to be a write-in candidate has changed to 61 days before an election, Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots said.

To receive any valid write-in votes, a person must file a declaration of intent to be a write-in candidate with the clerk's office by 5 p.m. Dec. 6.
