For those who are not registered to vote in the upcoming March 20 Election, there is still an opportunity for voter registration and voting. The “Official” cutoff date for registration was February 21, however, McHenry County Clerk, Katherine C. Schultz, says the State law allows a “Grace Period” for people to register and vote between February 22nd and March 13.
The caveat for this is voting must take place in the County Clerk’s Office, which is located in the County Administration Building, 667 Ware Road Woodstock.
People who vote during this “grace period” are not eligible to vote at their precinct polling place on March 20.
Eligibility to vote in person includes U.S. citizenship, 18 years old by Election Day, and a resident of the precinct for at least 30 days prior to Election Day. Two forms of ID are necessary, both with their name and one with their current address.
More information about grace period registration is available by calling the County Clerk’s office, at 815-334-4242.
