The Shelby County March 2024 primary ballot is taking shape, after the filing period ended on Monday.

Incumbent Republican Shelby County State's Attorney Robert Hanlon will not be on the ballot.   Hanlon had filed to run again but withdrew his filing late last month.   As a result, the only Republican candidate that will be on the ballot will be Ruth Woolery of Shelbyville.   No Democratic candidate filed.

There was only one candidate from each party filing for Shelby County Circuit Clerk.  Incumbent Democrat Kari Ann Kingston of Shelbyville will be unopposed in the primary, as will the lone Republican candidate Peter Otis of Westervelt.

And in the Coroner's race in Shelby County, incumbent Republican Brad Phegley of Windsor will face challenger Richard Moon of Lakewood in the Republican primary in March.   No Democrats filed for Coroner in Shelby County.

The primary election in Illinois is Tuesday, March 19th.
