Register to Vote at Library
Do you need to register to vote or update your registration information? We can help! Four library staff members (Meghan, Dorothy, Maria, and Cathy) have recently been certified as Deputy Registrars and can register you to vote in the Library. It only takes a few minutes. We recommend that you call ahead to make sure that one of our Registrars is available. You will need to bring two forms of identification.
Acceptable Forms of ID
- Illinois Driver’s License
- Employee of student ID
- Illinois State ID
- Credit Card
- Social Security Card
- Birth Certificate
- Valid U.S. passport
- Utility bill in the applicant’s name
- Mail postmarked to the applicant
- Public Aid ID Card
