Register to Vote

You can now register online to vote if you have an Illinois driver’s license or an ID card issued by the Secretary of State. Go to https://ova.elections.il.gov to see whether you can register online. You can register online by October 20, 2024 to be eligible to vote in the November 5, 2024 General Election.

You can also print out a registration form in English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Gujarati, Hindi, Korean, Polish, Russian, Tagalog, Ukrainian, or Urdu at the County Clerk's website. Complete and sign the form and mail it to the Cook County Clerk, 69 W. Washington St., Suite 500, Chicago, IL 60602. If you’ve moved, follow the same instructions but indicate that you are re-registering.

Paper voter registration forms must be postmarked by October 8, 2024 in order to vote in the November 5, 2024 General Election. After that date, you can still register online through October 20. You can register and vote on Election Day, but don’t wait that long. You will need two forms of identification that includes your address.

To register to vote, you must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old by the general election, and a resident of your precinct at least 30 days prior to Election Day.
