| The start of early voting for the April 1 consolidated election has been rescheduled from March 7 to March 17.
The reason for the change is the timing of the Feb. 25 primary for contested Republican races for Algonquin, Grafton and Nunda township offices. The last day to count primary ballots under state law is March 11, and primary results must be finalized before early voting for the consolidated election can begin.
Voters in the April 1 election will choose their representatives on city councils and village boards, school boards, township offices, park districts, library districts, community college board trustees and fire protection districts. Be sure to vote and make your voice heard!
Early voting will be available between March 17 and March 31 at a dozen locations across McHenry County – you can find a complete list of locations and dates and hours of operation by clicking here. People wishing to vote in person on Election Day must do so at their assigned voting precinct; they can also vote at the McHenry County Election Center at 410 S. Eastwood Drive, Woodstock, which is a universal polling site.
If you wish to cast your ballot on Election Day at your assigned polling place, you can double-check its location by calling 815-334-4242 or by using the polling place locator on the county clerk’s website at www.mchenrycountyclerkil.gov; the locator also can generate a sample ballot so that you can see every race and referendum that you will be asked to help decide. |
