Early Voting Requirements

Katherine C. Schultz, McHenry County Clerk, announces that voters can cast a ballot prior to the November 6 General Election as early as October 22 without having to offer a reason or an excuse for wanting to vote early.

The early voting law, effective in Illinois, allows voters to cast a ballot at an early voting center through Saturday, November 3

As all ballot styles, for McHenry County, are available at all Early Voting Centers, voters may choose to vote at the site most convenient for them.

The state law requires that a registered voter show valid photo identification before voting early.   Voters casting an early ballot must display a current driver’s license, a state-issued ID card or another government-issued ID with a photograph.

Any voter who requests an “Early Ballot” or an “In Person Absentee Ballot” MAY NOT go to the polls on Election Day and revoke the ballot he originally requested.   The law prohibits any voter who has been issued an “In Person Absentee Ballot” or “Early Ballot” from appearing at his precinct polling place and requesting another ballot. 

For more information about early voting or voting locations, contact the McHenry County Clerk’s office at 815-334-4242.
