Where and when can I register to vote?

You may register to vote in person:

You may register to vote by mail:

Under federal law, citizens may apply to register to vote by mailing in an Illinois Voter Registration Application. The mail-in form must be postmarked by the last day to register to vote before an election.

Please note: You must provide sufficient proof of identity when registering by mail. (For more details, refer to Important Information section of the Illinois Voter Registration Application). If you do not provide adequate proof of identity, you will be notified by the County Clerk that your registration is not complete and you will be ineligible to vote until you provide the required proof of identity.
