Yes, there was an election day on Tuesday. But now, it’s time to turn our attention from the primary to the general election. April 6th is election day for the consolidated general election, and early voting has already begun. Over the next few weeks we will be highlighting some of the races and referendums, but here is the basic info, from the Champaign County Clerk’s Office:
