Get Out the Vote & Polling Places

Here is some information to help you identify your polling place, and how you can help on Election Day to Get Out The Vote (GOTV). 

Polling Place Information

 If you don't know what precinct you are voting in, that information is available from the Lake County Clerk's website:

https://countyclerk.lakecountyil.gov/ElectionInfo/Voter-Services/Pages/Voter-Power.aspx .

 Also, from the Lake County Voter's Guide:

Visit LakeVoterPower.info to confirm your registration, find your polling place and preview your official ballot. In order to vote early, by mail or on Election Day, you must be registered to vote. Voters with special needs can mark their ballot privately and unassisted using accessible terminals.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call us at 847.377.2314 or use our TTY/TDD service at 847.377.2022.

GOTV Activities on Election Day

Polls will open at 6:00 am and close at 7:00 pm.

If you can spend some time during the day encouraging people to go vote, please do so.  Flyer distribution on election day is not necessary, we don't want to turn a potential voter off by being pushy. Keep some information on hand if a voter asks for it.

 Electioneering Guidelines

1.  Stay Clear of the No Electioneering Zone. It will be marked by an orange cone and a sign that states "No Electioneering Beyond This Point".

2. Do Not Impede Voters Going into the Polling Place.  As voters approach, politely let them know that you are supporting a candidate (use any phrasing you like) and thank them for coming out to vote.

3. If you become aware of any voting irregularities, or witness a violation of the No Electioneering Zone at your polling place, you can call the Lake County Clerk's Office at 847 377-2314 to report it. 

Every Voter is Important and Every Vote Counts!
