Voter Registration
The pamphlet,
Registering to Vote in Illinois, describes the rules and procedures surrounding
the voter registration process in Illinois. An individual may register
to vote in Illinois if he/she is 18 years or older on the next election
day, resides in the jurisdiction for 30 days prior to the election and
is a U.S. citizen.
Illinois residents may register in person at the office of the election
authority, at driver's license facilities, with deputy registrars who
are appointed in each jurisdiction or via mail using the Illinois Voter
Registration Application (available in English and Spanish).
Illinois citizens residing overseas and military personnel may register
using a Federal postcard application found on the Federal Voting
Assistance Program Web site. Other questions may be answered using the
Military and Overseas Voter Guidelines.
Registration is
closed during the 27 days prior to an election. Individuals who miss the
deadline may register or transfer their registration at the office of
the election authority under the guidelines of grace period
registration.
