Cook County voter registration deadline is Tuesday

The deadline for Cook County residents to register to vote in the March 20 primary is Tuesday.

Cook County Clerk David Orr said voters who recently have moved must re-register at their current address prior to the deadline.

Residents wishing to register in person can visit Orr’s office at 69 W. Washington St., 5th Floor, Chicago or one of the Clerk’s offices located in the five suburban Cook County courthouses. They can also go to their municipal or township clerk’s office.

Prospective voters should bring two pieces of identification to register, including one displaying a current address (a bill mailed to the prospective voter may serve as one form of ID).

Voters who miss the regular registration deadline will still be able to vote if they register during the 14-day grace period. Grace-period registration runs from Feb. 22 through March 13. Grace-period voters must vote in person at the Clerk’s office immediately after signing up to vote. Grace-period registrants are not allowed to vote by mail, at the polls on Election Day, or at any Early Voting site.
