Jaycees Encourages Everyone to Vote

Below is some helpful information on how to register to vote, places were you can register and online registration information.

How do I know if I’m registered?

You can check your voting eligibility by calling the Cook County Clerk’s automated number at (312)603-0906 or visit online at www.cookcountyclerk.com. If you have questions about your voting status please call the Cook County Clerk’s Office at (312) 603-0906.

What types of identification do I need to register to vote?

Two forms of identification are required. Neither needs to be a photo ID, however, one must include your current address. In Illinois, you do not declare affiliation with a political party when you register to vote. In primary elections, you may choose to vote a specific political party ballot on Election Day.

Acceptable forms of ID include:

1. Illinois Driver’s License

2. Illinois State ID

3. Employee or Student ID

4. Credit Card

5. Social Security Card

6. Birth Certificate

7. Utility Bill in Applicant’s Name

8. Mail Postmarked to the Applicant

9. Valid U.S. Passport

10. Public Aid ID Card

11. Lease or Rental Contract

Online Voter Registration

You can apply to register online using an online application provided by the IL State Board of Elections. You must have a printer or provide an email to complete your online application. To access the online application click here.

Address Changes

If you have moved within suburban Cook County, you must re-register with your new address. If you move to an address outside suburban Cook County, you must re-register with the local election authority or county clerk.

Name Changes

Voters who legally change their name no longer have to re-register to vote. If you have changed your name, you can vote after updating your information at the polls.

Where can I register to vote?

You may register to vote in person anywhere in the State of Illinois that offers voter registration (i.e. Village/City Halls, Township Halls, County Offices). You may also register to vote through the mail by downloading a voter registration application at www.cookcountyclerk.com.
