Mokena, Register Now for the Nov. 6 election

The airwaves, blogs and newspaper opinion pages are heating up as we move closer and closer to Election Day 2012—November 6.  Make sure you can participate.  The last day to register to vote for this election is October 9. 

You have lots of places to register.  The Village of Mokena will register their residents at the Village Hall.  See http://il-mokena.civicplus.com/index.aspx?NID=8 for details.  Frankfort Township will register anyone in the township, including Mokena and non-Mokena residents.  See http://www.frankforttownship.com/ for their hours.

Did you know if you will be 18 years old before November 6 but after the October 9 registration deadline you can still register?  As long as you will be 18 by November 6 you can register now.

If you miss the registration deadline of October 9^th, you still have another option to vote called Grace Period.  However, this will require you to vote on the same day you register.  Grace Period Voting runs from October 10^th through November 3^rd and is only available at the Will County Clerk’s Office, 302 N. Chicago St., Joliet.  If you have any questions about Grace Voting, please call the Will County Clerk’s Registration Department at (815) 740-4620 or e-mail them at voterregistration@willcountyillinois.com .
