- All Election Day voting sites open at 6:00 a.m. and close at 7:00 p.m. Refer to Early Voting for hours and locations for voting during the 22 day period.
- If you are incapacitated, you may vote by mail or request curbside voting on Election Day. Call the County Clerk’s office at 847.377.2406 for more information.
- Voters who registered by mail on the Federal Registration form, and do not provide sufficient proof of identity, must vote in person the first time they vote.
- If you requested a ballot by mail, you may not cast a ballot on Election Day.
- If you vote early, you may not vote on Election Day.
- If you damage or mark your ballot incorrectly or change your mind about your ballot choices when voting a ballot by mail, you may request another ballot and must return the spoiled ballot. Similarly, on Election Day, you may request a new ballot before your ballot is deposited in the ballot counter. No ballot may be retrieved from the ballot bin.
- Cellular telephones should not be used in the voting site. Using a cellular telephone in the voting site may constitute electioneering, distract other voters or delay the voting process.
- Write-in votes will count only for candidates who have filed a Declaration of Intent to be a Write-In Candidate.
- Your ballot may be different than your closest neighbor’s ballot. Precinct boundaries and local government districts cannot always coincide and when they intersect, the ballots will contain different offices and candidates. Ballot styles are specific to those candidates and issues for which you are entitled to vote.
- Illinois does not have a political party registration system. In a primary election, voters are required to declare a party to vote on party nomination ballots. If there are referenda or public questions, nonpartisan ballots are available and contain no partisan candidates.
