A man who served 18 years as one of the Danville Election Commissioners has died. Charles Bostic was serving as vice-chairman of the Danville Election Commission Board when he suffered a sudden medical emergency Tuesday evening, August 17, 2021. Bostic and other members of the Election Commission Board had just attended a county board committee meeting.
Barbara Bailey, chairwoman of the Danville Election Commission Board, says Bostic was very dedicated in his service. ‘’He was always there to help us,’’ said Bailey during an interview with VermilionCountyFirst.com News.
Bailey said Bostic had studied the State Election code book and was very familiar with it. She added Bostic had been interested in politics for years. His term on the Danville Election Commission Board was to have ended in December.
It will now be up to the Vermilion County Democratic Party Chairman to recommend a person to fill the vacancy. Presiding Judge Thomas O’Shaughnessy will be asked to confirm the selection.
