ABSENTEE VOTING
Photo ID must accompany absentee ballot requests. Voters will be required to submit a photocopy of an acceptable form of photo ID with their absentee requests. Photo ID will not be required, but will be replaced by alternative documentation, for voters on the permanent absentee list because they are indefinitely confined and nursing home residents who have their ballots delivered by a Special Voter Deputy. Absentee voting at Village Hall is now restricted to the two weeks before an election and ends the Friday before the election at 5:00 p.m.
VOTER REGISTRATION
Voter registration at Village Hall now ends the Friday before the election at 5:00 p.m. You may still register at your polling location on Election Day by providing the proper proof of residence or by mail prior to the 20th day before an election. You now must reside at your address for at least 28 consecutive days to be eligible to vote.
