General Voter Information: Registration, Early Voting, Vote-by-Mail, Sample Ballots on the Election page or quick links here:

Last two weeks of Primary Voting! Election day falls within Spring Break so have a plan to vote early!

This week early voting is still only at the Champaign County Clerk's Office. Next Tuesday other Early Voting locations open in town and around the county going into election day. Locations in link above.

Applications have to be sent in and received by Thursday, March 15, 2018 to get a ballot to mail in. If you plan on voting by mail apply sooner rather than later.

If you still need to register to vote, the only option remaining is to use grace period registration at an early voting location or at an election day voting location. See the link above on what you'll need to register and vote when you do it.
