Not Registered To Vote? There Is Opportunity To Vote

Voters who missed the March 8 deadline to register to vote but would still like to be able to vote in the April 5 election--there is help!

State law allows a "Grace Period" for people to register to vote until March 29 for the April 5 Election. Individuals may register in person duirng normal office hours at the clerk's office, County Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

However, people who register to vote during this three-week period MUST vote in the County Clerk's Office at the time they register. They are not eligible to vote in their precinct polling place on April 5.

Eligibility to vote includes:
  • U.S. Citizenship
  • 18 years old by Election Day
  • Residency of the precinct at least 30 days prior to Election Day
  • Two (2) forms of ID, both with the voter's name and one with their current address.
More information about grace period registration is available by contacting the County Clerk's office at 815-334-4242.
