The filing dates for candidates seeking voter consideration for a United States House of Representatives seat has been modified.
Friday, December 23, 2011, 8:00 a.m. is the first day to file for candidates seeking the office of Representative in the U.S. Congress with January 4, 2012, 5:00 p.m. as the last day for filing objections to the nominating petitions for candidates who have filed for the office of Representative.
Any candidate who attempts to file petitions sooner will have their petitions rejected.
This is due to the revamping of the congressional districts which resulted in the filing of a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The original map was the result of the one political party having the power to determine the new boundaries.
