Is there a way to register even if I miss the voter registration end date on February 21, 2006?
Yes. A new law called "grace-period registration and voting" extends the regular registration deadline by 14 days, allowing voters to register to vote up to two weeks before an election.
Grace-period registration and voting can occur between February 22 through March 7, 2006.
There is only one way and one place to register during the 14-day grace period. Unregistered voters must sign up to vote in person at the Clerk's downtown Chicago office: 69 W. Washington St., Room 500. You must show two pieces of identification to register.
Grace-period voters must vote absentee. You can: 1) vote in person at the Clerk's downtown office immediately after signing up to vote; or 2) receive an absentee ballot by mail that you can complete at home and return to the Clerk's office before Election Day. Grace-period registrants are not allowed to vote at the polls on Election Day or vote at any early voting site.
Your vote counts! Please vote "YES" for the referendum on March 21, 2006.
