Early Voting Closes tomorrow

I went over last week and tried out the early voting and was impressed, by its ease and convenience, this is quite the idea an idea whose time has come I would say. It does certainly make election day longer however.

Early voting will be offered to any eligible voter, without reason (i.e. not required to be absent, physically disabled, etc.) beginning 22 days prior to Election Day through the Thursday before Election Day. Voters are required to present a valid Illinois driver'’s license, an Illinois identification card issued by the Secretary of State, or any other government-issued identification document containing their photograph, name and address.

Early voting was offered February 27 - March 16 for the upcoming General Primary on March 21, 2006. Early Voting will be available at most townships and a few municipal offices. Please be sure you are registered to vote. Check your voter registration status. Click on the link below to:
