I’m not registered to vote. Can I still cast a ballot?

If you’re not registered to vote, you can still cast a ballot. Voters can sign up at the polls, but need to bring two forms of ID with them, one of which has your current address. Some valid forms of ID include a driver’s license, social security card, utility bill, student or employee ID, residence lease or contract, credit card, civic, union or professional membership card or Firearm Owner’s Identification card, according to the Illinois State Board of Elections website.

Where to call for election help

The county clerk’s office will be closed for non-election-related business Tuesday. For election questions, call the office at 815 334-0236.
