The next General Election is November 2, 2010.

Voter Registration

Voter registration closes 28 days prior to each election and reopens two days after an election. Voter registration is now open for the November 2 General Election.

"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 7th 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 Gina Brigham, the LWV of Elmhurst's Voter Registration chair.

Absentee Voting

A DuPage County registered voter who expects to be absent from the county on Election Day, may vote absentee prior to Election Day, either "by mail" or "in-person." Absentee voting starts approximately 40 days prior to an election.

For more information on voting absentee, go to the Absentee Voting Procedures page on the DuPage County Election Commission website.

Early Voting

Registered voters in DuPage County may vote "early" at any DuPage County Early Voting center conveniently located throughout the county. Unlike absentee voting, an early voter is not required to state a reason for voting early.
