In order to be considered for the appointment, the applicant must be a resident of District 3. The application to fill out also asks for a candidate’s voter registration, awards and recognition and community involvement, along with questions to like “What are some of your long-range objectives for the City of Champaign?” and “What in your qualifications or background make you the right person for this appointment?”
The appointment will be until May 2025.
