Did you know you can register to vote at the library? Make sure you’re registered so you can vote for the new mayor of East Peoria and four commissioner seats in the local consolidated election on April 2, 2019. The deadline to register at the library for the April 2 election is March 5.

Registering to vote at the library only takes a few minutes, and all you need are two forms of identification with at least one showing your current Illinois address. Ask about voter registration at the Circulation Desk, and a staff member will be glad to help you.

To check your registration status, or for more information on registering to vote, polling places, early and absentee voting, and elections in Illinois, please visit the Illinois State Board of Elections website. Local election information can also be found on the Tazewell County Clerk’s election webpage.

Additionally, you can register to vote directly from the state’s website. The Illinois Online Voter Application is available here. Your vote is your voice, so be sure you’re heard in every local, state, and national election!
