EVERY VOTE MATTERS
TU VOTO IMPORTA
ELECTION DAY:
TUES, NOVEMBER 5, 2024
Can I vote?
You must be a United States Citizen. You must be at least 17 years old on or before the date of the Primary Election and turn 18 on or before the date of the General or Consolidated Election (16 year olds may preregister to vote). You must live in your election precinct at least 30 days prior to Election Day. 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. ____________ Incarcerated Voters & Returning Citizens: In Illinois, you only lose your right to vote if you are currently incarcerated for a misdemeanor or felony conviction. If you lost your voting rights because of a conviction, you could register to vote immediately after release. Your voting rights are not restricted by pretrial detention, misdemeanors, probation, or parole.
WHAT's AT STAKE?
We are voting for more than the President.
Can I vote IF I AM LIVING AWAY FROM HOME?
The address you are registered at determines where you cast your ballot and which county, state, and federal districts you vote for. College students in Illinois may register to vote using their home address or from their college address. If you are registered under your home address but cannot make it there on Election Day, you may vote by mail.
