If you fail to register in time, you may still vote for this election by using “Grace Period” registration. Grace Period Registration extends registration through Election Day. Once registered, the voter may cast a ballot during the Grace Period at the election authority’s office or at a location specifically designated for this purpose by the election authority, or by mail if no ballots are available at the office of the election authority. You may find a location for Grace Period Registration below by selecting “Early/Grace Period Registration Locations.”

  • Vote early by visiting any early voting location

  • Arrive early and plan to spend time in line
  • If you fill out a paper ballot: only use the writing utensil provided
  • If you fill out a touch-screen ballot: ask for help if you need it

    • New postmark rules: “Postmark” has been redefined to mean the date a piece of mail is processed by the post office, not the day it is dropped off. Plan to mail your ballot several days before election day, or, if you do wait until election day, either use a ballot drop box, or go into the post office and have the clerk postmark it right then. Find more information with USPS..
  • Drop-off votes must be returned in a secure dropbox in the county in which you reside. Find a DuPage County drop box.
    • Nearby drop boxes: Jack T. Knuepfer Administration Building, 421 N County Farm Rd. Wheaton; any DuPage County early voting and polling place
