About this race

Tionn Fambro Carter is on the November 3, 2026 ballot to fill a vacancy on the 14th Judicial Circuit Court (the seat vacated by the Hon. Thompson). The 14th Judicial Circuit covers Henry, Mercer, Rock Island and Whiteside counties; every voter there votes on this seat. Illinois circuit judgeships are decided in contested partisan elections, unlike judicial retention questions. Listed from the Illinois State Board of Elections' certified 2026 general election candidate list.

What this office does

Trial court judge. A trial judge presides over criminal and civil cases at the first level: bail and pleas, motions, trials, sentencing and civil judgments. Judges are bound by state law and appellate precedent and are barred by judicial conduct rules from campaigning on how they would rule. Most states elect trial judges on a nonpartisan ballot; the term and the courts a judge may sit on vary by state.
