Voter Registration
Voter registration closes 28 days prior to each election
and reopens two days after an election. For locations
to register in DuPage County, go to the DuPage County Voter Registration Locations page
on the DuPage County Election Commission website. (Be sure to
scroll down the list.)
"Grace Period" Voter Registration
Illinois law provides individuals who were unable to register
to vote or change their address prior to the traditional deadline
(28 days prior to an election) a "grace period" to register
and vote. The "grace period" is from the 27th
day through the 14th day prior to an election. Grace Period Registration
can only be done in the office of the DuPage Election Commission,
421 North County Farm Road, Wheaton, Illinois.
If you have questions about voter registration, send an
email to the LWV of Elmhurst's Voter Registration chair.
