The City of Aurora Electoral Board held a special meeting on September 11, 2026, primarily focused on legal and procedural issues related to upcoming municipal elections and ballot preparations. Key procurement-related discussions involved the urgent need for timely decisions on ballot certification to meet statutory deadlines, as emphasized by a representative from the DuPage County Clerk's Office. The board reviewed records examinations of voter registrations and petition signatures, entering certification reports into the record and discussing motions related to these findings. Legal arguments centered on the validity and clarity of recall referendum language, its compliance with Illinois constitutional provisions, and the logistical challenges of implementing special elections outside regular election schedules. The board agreed to take the matters under advisement and planned to issue written decisions by September 14 to allow county clerks sufficient time for ballot printing and mailing. No contract awards, vendor selections, or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
