Illinois Corn Marketing Board (ICMB) district director elections will take place by mail this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

In previous years, checkoff contributors were able to vote at local extension offices throughout the State, but with many offices closed due to the pandemic, voting has been converted to entirely by mail. In-person voting will resume during the next voting cycle.

 

ICMB districts 1, 4, 7, 10, and 13 are up for election in 2020. You can review counties represented by those districts and current district directors here.

 

Ballots are available by request from the Illinois Department of Agriculture. Request your ballot from David Humphreys at david.humphreys@illinois.gov or by calling 217-524-1083.

 

Ballots must be postmarked July 2 and should be mailed to:
