Where's my polling place, who's on the ballot, can I still register to vote and other helpful information for the April 2, 2019 election.

Alsip and Crestwood voters are heading to the polls to cast ballots for candidates running for village board seats, school boards, park commissioners and the library trustees.

Polls reopen at 6 a.m. Tuesday, April 2, closing at 7 p.m. Then the excitement begins as we wait for the numbers to come in. So far, turnout for the 2019 Consolidated Election hasn't been a record-breaker. As of Thursday, 786 ballots have been cast thus far at Oak Lawn Village Hall, bearing in mind that people can vote at any early voting location in Cook County.

Not Registered To Vote?

Bring in two pieces of ID one of which shows your current address, such as a driver's license, state ID, passport, utility bill (gas or electric), paycheck stub, bank statement, etc.
Although a government-issued photo ID is not required, it's helpful if there is a question about your voter registration, address or signature. It can also speed up the registration process.
Residents can also still register to vote on April 2, but you have to register at your home precinct/polling place, by bringing two pieces of the aforementioned ID, one of which showing your current address. Election Day-registrants must cast their ballot immediately upon registration.
