Hinsdale 2026 Primary Voters Guide

HINSDALE, IL – Early voting continues until Saturday in Tuesday's Democratic and Republican primaries.

Hinsdale voters can visit the early voting pages on the websites for DuPage and Cook counties.

Polls are open 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Are you registered to vote?

If you're not sure if you're registered to vote, you can check online. If you're not registered, even though online voter registration has closed, you can still register in person the same day you vote, whether you vote early or on Election Day.

To register in person, you'll need to bring two forms of ID or proof of residency, including a passport, driver's license, lease or mortgage. At least one form of ID must list your current address.

What's competitive?

Hinsdale has no local races on the ballot.

You've likely been seeing a lot of ads for congressional seats in the suburbs. That's because the state is seeing musical chairs with the retirement of U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin.

But Hinsdale voters won't get to weigh in on such competition.

The village is represented by Democratic 4th District Rep. Jesus "Chuy" Garcia, who is retiring.

Garcia announced his departure just before the filing deadline. His chief of staff, Patty Garcia, was the only one who got an early heads-up. So she gathered enough petition signatures in time, allowing her to run unopposed. Many have criticized Garcia for his late announcement.

Lupe Castillo is running in the 4th District's GOP primary. The district is strongly Democratic, thanks to gerrymandering.

The Senate election is attracting the most attention. It's a Democratic three-way race with Lt. Gov. Julia Stratton and U.S. Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi and Robin Kelly.

Running on the Republican side are Casey Chlebek, Don Tracy, R. Cary Capparelli, Pamela Denise Long, Jimmy Lee Tillman II and Jeannie Evans.

For governor, J.B. Pritzker is running unopposed in the Democratic primary.

Republicans Ted Dabrowski, James Mendrick, Darren Bailey and Rick Heidner are vying for the GOP nod. This time, no big donors are helping any of the GOP candidates.
