Registered and unregistered Cook County residents can find their assigned polling place with the Your Voter Information Tool.

Voter Registration

In order to vote in an election, you must register either in person or online before the posted deadline. The registration deadline for the next election on April 6, 2021, will be announced as soon as it is available. If you miss these deadlines, you may still register to vote during either the Grace Period or on Election Day.
Grace Period Registration and Voting
Grace Period Registration and Voting extends the registration period by allowing voters to both register and vote until the Monday before an election. Guidelines limit when and where grace period registrants can vote – during the 27 day grace period, voters must register and vote in person at one of the Clerk’s designated Grace Period Locations.
Individuals wishing to vote during the grace period must bring two pieces of identification to register, one with a current address. Grace period registrants must immediately cast their ballot after registering to vote.
Election Day Registration and Voting
On Election Day, voters who are not registered to vote can register and vote at their home precinct only. Any voter who is not registered and needs to know where to go to register and vote on Election Day can utilize the Clerk’s online Your Voter Information Tool to find their proper polling place by address or birthday.
Voters planning on registering to vote or updating their address on Election Day must bring two pieces of identification to register, one with a current address.
