Voter Registration

You may register to vote at many government offices, including at Elmhurst City Hall, and the York Township and the Addison Township Offices. For a list of other voter registration locations, go to the Dupage County Election Commission Website. Also, many LWV Elmhurst members have been appointed voter registrars, and may register you to vote.

If you have questions about voter registration, or would like to have a LWV Elmhurst member register you to vote or update your voter registration information, send an email to Maria Hirsch, the LWV of Elmhurst's Voter Registration chair.

Voter registration closes 28 days prior to each election and reopens two days after an election. Voter registration is now open for the April 6 Election.

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.

Early voting for the April 9 Election begins Monday, March 25, 2013 through Saturday, April 6, 2013.

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.

"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.
