The polls in Grundy County have officially closed for the Illinois primary election, which means it’s time to hurry up and wait for votes to be counted. Here is what to look out for.

Most of the races of consequence this primary are statewide, but that doesn’t mean Grundy voters don’t have anything to decide locally. Republicans have one contested race for the county board’s first district nomination.

Voters were asked to choose up to three candidates between current board chairman Drew Muffler, current board member Douglas Ferro, Christina Jenkins, and Keith Christensen.

Republican voters will also decide the nominee for the regional superintendent of schools for Grundy and Kendall counties, between the current Superintendent Meghan Martin and challenger Kristen Koppers.

There is also a proposition on the ballot that decides whether or not Grundy County will adopt the federal scholarship tax credit to allow privately donated funds be given to Illinois students.
