With the general election just around the corner, now is the time for Illinois residents to learn more about the voting process and how to register. Whether you’re a first-time voter or need to update your information, voting is a way to make your voice heard in government.
Voter requirements in Illinois include:

- Living in your election precinct for at least 30 days prior to Election Day
- Being at least 18 years old by the date of the general election
- You must not be serving a sentence of confinement in any penal institution as a result of a conviction.
- You may not claim the right to vote anywhere else.
Voters can register online, in person at the office of the election authority, at a DMV, via mail, or with appointed jurisdiction registrars. Online registration does close at the end of the day on October 18.
