Changes to the questions on the SEI form were passed by our State Legislature and became effective January 1, 2022.  Please make sure you are using the form that says it is "revised for 2022" or "revised in 2022."  We recommend that you consult the definitions of terms (below) and the other information on this page before you complete the form. 

According to Illinois Statute 5 ILCS 420/4, certain individuals are required to file a Statement of Economic Interests (SEI) with the Office of the County Clerk by May 1st of each year.  Who must file to the County Clerk? (statute)

Candidates for office, please note: Candidates for office are required to file paper forms. Complete and print the Candidate Statement of Economic Interest form. Alternately, you may provide a copy of your receipt for the current year's annual statement, if you are a candidate for the same position (the hard-copy receipt was returned by mail or in person; online receipt/confirmation of filing was returned by e-mail). Once elected or appointed, you will need to file an annual statement for that year and will need to file annually thereafter, for as long as you remain in the position.  if you are elected or appointed, you must file an annual statement in that calendar year. If you are elected/appointed in April, your deadline to file the annual statement that year is May 31.

Annual filing for individuals begins in March. Feel free to begin filing online - instructions follow directly below.  The annual filing deadline is May 1.  If you have questions about filing online, contact Jeannette Mead at (309) 888-4098 or call our general number of (309) 888-5190.
