• 10 ILCS 5/10-6

  Except as otherwise provided in this Code, certificates of nomination and nomination papers for the nomination of candidates for offices to be filled by electors of the entire State, or any district not entirely within a county, or for congressional, state legislative or judicial offices, shall be presented to the principal office of the State Board of Elections not more than 169 nor less than 162 days previous to the day of election for which the candidates are nominated. → The person filing the nomination petition of a candidate for a State office as defined in Section 7-4 must file at the same time and place as the nomination petition copies of the candidate's most recently filed personal federal and State income tax returns for the most recently completed tax year, which shall be available for public inspection in the same manner as the candidate's nomination petition.

  Candidates must now submit their most recent personal income tax returns along with their nomination papers.
