Good to know

Do I need ID to vote?

Registered Illinois voters do not need to show a photo ID to vote at their polling place. If you are registering during the grace period or on Election Day, bring two forms of identification, at least one with your current address, such as a driver’s license, state ID, utility bill, bank statement or lease.

I moved within Forest Park. What now?

Update your registration online or with the Cook County Clerk. If you miss the deadline, you can still update it at the polls during grace-period or Election Day registration.

Voting with a disability

Every polling place must be accessible, and accessible voting equipment is available. Voters may also vote by mail or bring someone to help. The Cook County Clerk can answer questions about accommodations.

Students and young voters

You can register if you will be 18 by Election Day. College students may register at school or at home, but vote in only one place.
