WAUKEGAN, Illinois - Lake County Clerk Willard Helander announced today that in order to support the election, the Lake County Clerk's office will be closed for walk-in customer and non-election service on Tuesday, March 20. Due to the limited number of full-time staff and with the increasing number of voters served, every County Clerk staff member is needed for election support.

All departments will re-open for service as usual on Wednesday, March 21 at 8:30 a.m. Emergency needs regarding vital records or tax matters occurring on Election Day should be directed to the County Building's main number at 847.377.2000.
