Early voting gets underway after court ruling

The Appellate Court has ruled on the motion to stay related to an objection to a statewide candidate’s petition. As a result, early voting will begin Monday, February 9, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. at the Grundy County Courthouse, and all requested vote-by-mail ballots will be mailed.

Grundy County Clerk Kay Olson delayed early voting on Feb. 5 due to unresolved candidate objections that were pending. Now that it has been resolved early voting has begun.
