A Winnebago County judge has mandated that all candidates for elected offices in Pecatonica Township, Illinois, be included on the ballot. The decision comes after scrutiny of the township clerk's actions.

In the order, the judge remarked that the township clerk was "terribly misguided," had acted arbitrarily, and abused her discretion. This judgment addresses concerns raised about the limits of discretionary duties held by clerks.

Further details, including the court's order and transcripts, are anticipated to be released soon.
