Naperville City Council candidate Derek McDaniel was bumped from the ballot in the upcoming election but mayoral candidate Tiffany Stephens’ name will remain, a DuPage judge ruled Friday.
A DuPage County judge directed the county clerk to remove Derek McDaniel from the Naperville City Council ballot because his nominating petitions did not comply with state law.
The board consisting of Naperville Mayor Steve Chirico, Councilman Paul Hinterlong and City Clerk Pam Gallahue voted 2-1 to reject Ahmadpour’s challenges the two candidacies.In McDaniel’s case, he charged that McDaniel failed to properly number his nominating petition sheets as required by state law. In Stephens’, he said she was not qualified to run because she has not lived in Naperville for a year, citing her use of an Aurora address to vote and file taxes prior to her house purchase in July.
One requirement, the judge said, is that “such sheets, before being presented to the electoral board or filed with the proper officer of the electoral district or division of the state or municipality, as the case may be, shall be neatly fastened together in book form, by placing the sheets in a pile and fastening them together at one edge in a secure and suitable manner, and the sheets shall then be numbered consecutively.
Under dispute are the three months between April 4, 2022, and June 30, 2022, the latter being the date she closed on the purchase of a town house on Anna Marie Lane on the city’s south side.
