What to know before registering
Registration creates or updates your voter record. It does not reveal how you vote, and this website never receives the information you submit to an election office.
Eligibility comes first
Citizenship, residency, age, and other eligibility rules are set by law. If your circumstances are unusual, ask an official Illinois election office before submitting an application.
Use your current information
Enter your legal name and current residential address as requested. After moving or changing your name, update your record and confirm that the change was accepted.
Protect sensitive information
Only submit identification numbers or personal details through a verified government service. ElectoralVote.com links outward and never asks you to enter registration data here.
Before you continue
Does ElectoralVote.com register me?
No. We do not collect voter-registration applications or personal registration data. Registration is completed through official government services.
Why aren’t deadlines copied here?
Deadlines can change and may differ by registration method or election. Keeping the changing details at the official source helps prevent outdated instructions.
Can I use this page after I move?
Yes. Use the official service to update your address and confirm which jurisdiction now maintains your registration.
Where can I get personal assistance?
Your state or local election office can answer questions about your individual record, eligibility, identification, and ballot.
Should I check my status even if I voted before?
It is a good practice to confirm your record before an election, especially after moving, changing your name, or not voting for several election cycles.
Does registering select a party?
Party-affiliation rules vary. The official Illinois registration service explains whether party selection is offered or required for participation in particular primary elections.
Independent, nonpartisan, and privacy-conscious
ElectoralVote.com is not a government agency, political party, campaign, or candidate. We do not collect the personal information used to register to vote.
