Every four years, State Statute requires the County Board to establish the total annual compensation for elected officials. This is to be set prior to the filing of nominations papers. Elections for the Coroner, Sheriff and Clerk of Circuit are in the fall of 2026. Nominations papers can be circulated beginning April 15.
The County Board will need to establish the compensation for these offices before then.
