The City of Aurora Electoral Board held a special meeting on September 1, 2026, primarily to address motions to strike and dismiss objections related to a recall referendum petition. Legal arguments focused on the validity and constitutionality of the referendum, including whether it was self-executing, sufficiently detailed, and authorized under the Illinois Constitution and election code. The board discussed procedural issues such as signature validity, circulator affidavit concerns, and the timing and nature of special elections. No contract awards, procurement decisions, or budget allocations were discussed. The board set a schedule for further briefing and evidentiary hearings, continuing the matter to September 11, 2026, to resolve outstanding issues.
