Illinois Voter Information

There is a lot at stake in the 2020 election—from defending reproductive rights and protecting health care access for all, to the state of our judicial system and voting the Trump administration out of office. We can’t afford to sit on the sidelines, so we are inviting you to get involved.

  3. Your ballot will be mailed to you on September 24, 2020.

  4. FIll out your ballot from the comfort of your home.

How to Vote Safely at Your Local Polling Place

  • Write out your voting plan before going to the polls.
    Doing your candidate research ahead of time will ensure that you can get in and out of your polling place as quickly as possible. You can even download our list of endorsed candidates and bring it with you.

  • Vote during non-peak hours.
    Mornings, lunch breaks, and evenings will likely be the busiest times at most polling places. When planning your trip to the polls, try to avoid these high traffic times, if possible. 

  • Wear a face mask and bring your own hand sanitizer and pen.

  • Respect the social distancing markers at your polling location.
