Next Elections: General Election, November 4, 2008

Nomination of candidates for Federal, State and County Offices.

EARLY VOTING  --  Your Choice, Your Time

Developed in response to the Federal Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), the Early Voting initiative was passed by the Illinois Legislature in August, 2005.  It gives registered voters the opportunity to cast their ballot during an 18-day window before the official Election Day. 

Early Voting is not the same as Absentee Voting.  Absentee Voting applies to those who are unable to get to the polls on the day of an election for a variety of reasons, such as travel or illness.  Under Early Voting, anyone who is an eligible voter can cast a ballot during the Early Voting period, for whatever reason, by visiting a designated Early Voting site and showing a valid government issued photo identification (usually a driver's license).  All sites are 100% compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Early voting is available for the November 4, 2008, General Election At the Village of Oak Brook.
