Election 2025

A Peoria attorney is facing a felony charge after he attempted to cast two ballots in the April general election.

Peoria Mayor Rita Ali looks forward to the next four years of working with her recently elected colleagues to guide the city in a positive direction.

History was made Monday in Washington during the city's bicentennial year. Lilija Stevens, the first female mayor in the city's 200-year history, was sworn in by Tazewell County Clerk John Ackerman.

Paula Johnson was appointed Monday to the Washington City Council to fill the seat left vacant by Lilija Stevens, who was elected mayor last month.

A tight race to fill the vacant District 2 seat on Peoria’s City Council has drawn to a close.

The outcome of last week’s 2025 Consolidated General Election is holding firm in Peoria County so far, with an updated count of provisional and mail-in ballots.

Incumbent Dave Nutter, who was re-elected Tuesday to the Pekin City Council, had some words of advice for Jake Fletcher and Peg Phillips, who also were elected.

Two years ago, voters in Washington District 52 barely defeated a $20 million referendum to build a new Lincoln Grade School. A similar measure for $23 million passed Tuesday 62% to 48%.

The 2025 General Consolidated Election looks like a very successful night for incumbent representatives on the Peoria City Council.

Peoria voters have soundly given Mayor Rita Ali a second term in office.
