Voting by Mail
A recent change in Illinois law permits any registered voter to vote by mail. Voters are not required to have a reason to vote by mail. Requests can be made for the upcoming election via email at votingbymail@lakecountyil.gov or by calling (847) 377-2406. Voters participating in a primary election must provide a party preference when requesting a ballot. 
 
As required by state law, ballots for the primary cannot be mailed after January 28, 2010. Please note: voters requesting a ballot prior to Election Day are not entitled to cast a ballot on Election Day.
Early Voting
An early voter must be registered to vote and cast their ballot in person at the local Early Voting site assigned to them. Early voting is available until Jan. 28.
 
Voters can visit VoteEarly.info to confirm they are registered, preview their official ballot and to see a picture and driving directions to the local early voting site. An early voter must present a valid government-issued identification card containing their photograph.
 
Election Day Voting
Voters choosing to vote on traditional Election Day can visit WhereDoIVote.info to find the voting site assigned to them, get driving directions, print a map and see a picture of the site. All voting sites are open from 6 am to 7 pm on Election Day, February 2.
 
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Lake County Clerk's office at (847) 377-2406.
