Lake County Looking For Election Poll Watchers

LAKE COUNTY, IL—Interested in being an election day poll watcher? Get trained!

The Lake County Clerk’s office plans to offer a class explaining the rights and limitations of poll watchers.

Poll watchers are official election process observers in the voting site before, during, and after voting on Election Day.

With proper credentials, poll watchers and candidates may also be present at other election events, including early voting, nursing home voting, and the processing of vote-by-mail and provisional ballots.

The training will take place at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 26 in Room 6E of the Lake County Court and Administrative Building, 18 N. County St. in Waukegan.

To reserve your spot or request poll watching credentials, call 847-377-2314 or email elections@lakecountyil.gov.
