question re judges on ballots

i'm googling the various judges listed on the illinois ballot and can't find info on a couple of them.

my question is: do republican ballots list the same judges?

i seem to remember (from years ago) judges didn't list/state what party they belonged to because they are "impartial"

but i don't want to be voting for a republicanish anyone!

(i tried posting this in illinois forum the other day and kept getting an error message--probably just as well since i need to get this ballot in the mail and the illinois forum didn't look like it was getting a lot of activity)

If someone takes a Republican ballot the judges are Republicans. Whoever wins the primary on either side will be on the November ballot.
