Although the traditional voter registration period ended yesterday, March 10th, 2015, Illinois residents may register in-person at the County Clerk’s office. The Grace Period for registration runs from March 11th through April 4th for the 2015 Consolidated Election on April 7, 2015.
A registered voter may still submit a change of address form, in person in the County Clerk’s office, during the Grace Period. Illinois residents can check to see if they are correctly registered to vote at the Clerk’s office or they can go online at www.elections.il.gov. Go to “Voting and Elections” and then, click “Am I Registered” at the top of the page. Follow the prompts.
A voter who registers or changes address during this grace period may not vote on Election Day. Such a voter may only vote in that next upcoming election during the grace period, either in person in the office of the County Clerk or at NIU Holmes Student Center beginning March 23 through April 4.
All registered voters may cast a ballot prior to Election Day without having to provide a reason for wanting to vote early. This ballot is cast by personal appearance at the office of the County Clerk or at an Early Voting Center. Early voting begins on Monday, March 23rd, 2015.
