Registration
You
may
register to vote if you are a U.S. citizen, 18 years old
at the time of the next election, and a resident of Lake
County for 30 days prior to the election.
The Township encourages you register at the West
Deerfield Township Office through February 21.
By
law, registration closes 28 days prior to an election,
so please take advantage of this opportunity to become a
registered voter as soon as possible.
Two
forms of ID are required, one of which must show your
current address.
You
may also go online to register to vote at
LakeVoterPower.gov, under "Election Info—Voter
Services."
You
will complete a registration form, print, sign and mail
it to the County Clerk's office.
If
you use the online service to register, you must vote in
person and present a valid ID the first time you vote.
Your
registration must reflect your current, permanent
address.
If you have moved,
even just across the street, make sure to re-register to
vote.
Grace Period Registration
If you
miss the February 21 registration deadline, or have
changed your name or address and have not updated your
information with the County Clerk's office by the close
of registration, you may still register
in person at the County Clerk's Office
through March 13, and vote at the time of your
registration. Visit
VoterRegistration@lakecountyil.gov
for further information.
Certificates of Voter Registration
Often
called "voter ID" or "Registration" cards, Certificates
of Voter Registration were mailed to all registered Lake
County voters in September, 2011. These reflect new
precinct boundaries and polling places, and list
federal, state and county districts. Your new card also
includes a QR code to link smart devices directly to the
Lake County Voter Power web page for election
information. If you misplaced or did not receive your
card, contact the County Clerk's office at
VoterRegistration@lakecountyil.gov,
or call 847.377.2410.
