NOTE: This Primary appears to be limited to Democrats and Republicans. The filing period for "major candidates" ended 19 December 2005 and the filing period for "new party candidates" is 19-26 June 2006 (SOURCE: http://www.elections.state.il.us/ElectionInformation/FilingDeadlines.aspx); thus, any "new party" candidates (a category which, evidently, does not include the Major Parties) could not possibly file for this Primary.
