Election Day Registration and Voting

Voters who are not registered to vote can register and vote at their home precinct only.
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.

No ID is needed when: The voter is already registered at the voter's current address and is voting in the correct precinct; the signature appears to match the voter signature on file. Election Judges do not challenge the person's right to vote.

Cook County Judges

Vote judiciously for judges. Many bar groups provide non-partisan guides and research-based evaluations. Voters are permitted to bring newspaper endorsements, printouts, sample ballots and smart phones into the voting booth to view judicial evaluations.
