Be a Voter!

It’s time to learn about the candidates on your ballot, check your registration, and make your plan to vote. The nonpartisan League of Women Voters has created this guide to help you learn more about the candidates and issues on your ballot. Sierra Club candidate endorsements are here. Given the anti environmental positions of the current federal administration, it is very important that we elect candidates at the state, county and local levels who will be champions on renewable energy and environmental protection.

More information about where and when to vote is here. Polling locations during early voting may be different than those on election day. Early voting begins on October 22. During the early voting period, you may vote at the Highland Park Police Station or any other early voting site in Lake County.  Election Day is November 6 and polls will be open from 6 am – 7 pm. On election day, you must vote at your regular polling place.

Turnout in the municipal elections is typically low. Please help change this trend by voting tomorrow, Tuesday, April 4. Polls will be open from 6 am to 7 pm. You can confirm your polling place and registration here. If you previously voted at Northwood Jr. High, your new polling place is the Chinese Christian Union Church, 1506 Half Day Rd. (just west of 41 on the south side of the street.)

There are 22 candidates running for positions at the City, School Districts 112 and 113 and Park District. Many people have been asking how to learn about the candidates. The most comprehensive source of information is the League of Women Voter’s Candidate Guide. Candidates for either Moraine or West Deerfield Township will also be on your ballot along with Trustees for College of Lake County.
