Candidate names are copied in the order printed on the Illinois State Board of Elections list. Party is copied only when that list prints it. A candidate the list marks removed or withdrawn is not copied. Subcircuit contests are not copied, because the list does not say which Census places are in each subcircuit. The counties for a numbered circuit are the counties named for that circuit in 705 ILCS 35/1, using the Twentieth and Twenty-fourth Circuit counties in effect on and after December 5, 2022. Appellate contests other than the First District are not copied. Regional superintendent contests whose title includes ETC are not copied, because the title does not name every county. County sheriff, county board, and other county row offices are not on this list and are not copied.
