Important Information for you

You can vote in the next election as long as you are 18 by election day. Want to organize a voter registration day at your high school or college? Contact us at voterservice@lwvil.org

Register online. Go to www.vote411.org to register online. You can download the form but the completed, signed document must be mailed into your local election authority. When you register by mail your form must be postmarked prior to the close of registration.

Be an election judge! High School Juniors and Seniors can serve as election judges as long as they meet the following requirements: U.S. citizen; minimum 3.0 GPA; permission of principal and parent. College Students who are not entitled to vote in the precinct or county where they go to school, can still be an election judge in that county. Contact the County Clerk's office. Find your local contact information at www.elections.il.gov
