DuPage County To Send Vote-By-Mail Applications To All Voters

DUPAGE COUNTY, IL — The DuPage County Clerk's Office is sending vote-by-mail applications to all the county's registered voters. The initiative comes after Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a law to expand vote-by-mail options and make Election Day a holiday amid the new coronavirus pandemic.

DuPage County is also paying for the postage for voters to send their vote-by-mail applications and ballots in. Voters who complete the vote-by-mail application will get their ballots starting the week of Sept. 24.

In-person voting will still be available during early voting times and on Election Day, Nov. 3, 2020.
