La Salle County Clerk Jennifer Ebner says she is hoping for turnout of 40% or more when voters go to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 3. About 3,500 early ballots have come in, roughly half of those sent out, and Ebner noted many write-ins for governor and lieutenant governor. The top race is a rematch between Gov. JB Pritzker and Republican Darren Bailey; in their 2022 race, 55.9% of La Salle County voters turned out. State Rep. Amy "Murri" Briel, D-Ottawa, faces Republican Liz Bishop again, and U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood faces Republican James Marter again. Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m., and early voting continues at the courthouse in Ottawa. The forecast calls for a 50% chance of rain on Election Day.
