WAUKEGAN, Illinois – Severe winter weather could prevent you from going to your voting site on Election Day. Lake County Clerk Robin M. O’Connor is encouraging Lake County registered voters to vote by mail, including students away at school, traveling snowbirds, and those who will be out of town on Election Day. This option allows any registered voter to receive and mark a ballot from the comfort of his or her own home or have a ballot sent to a temporary alternate address.
It's simple to vote by mail. Complete the short, required application form and return it to the Lake County Clerk’s office by 5:00 pm on Thursday, February 18.
Applications are available by:

• Visiting LakeVoterPower.info,
• Calling 847-377-2406, or
• Emailing your name, date of birth, and address to VotingbyMail@lakecountyil.gov.

Ballots will be printed and mailed beginning January 14. You only have to walk as far as your mailbox for your ballot and vote from the comfort of your own couch. Mail your voted ballot back to the Lake County Clerk’s office with a postmark no later than Election Day, February 23. You can track the Lake County Clerk’s receipt of your ballot at LakeVoterPower.info using the “Track My Ballot” feature.
