Offenders are gaining entrance to residences, during the hours of 12:00 to 6:00 p.m. The offenders use a ruse to enter by telling the elderly victim that they work for the water department and need to check their water. The offenders typically target elderly residence and take items they can easily carry including money and jewelry.

Grace Period Registration  

For citizens who are qualified to vote in the Primary Election but who miss the standard Feb. 21, 2012 voter-registration deadline, there is a safety net.

From February 22 through March 13, you may register to vote, update your address or file your name change during the Grace Period.

Note: During the Grace Period, you must register in person -- and then immediately vote during that same visit. Please bring two forms of identification, at least one of which must show your current address.

Feb. 22 - March 13, 2012
Chicago Election Board

Early Voting for the March 20, 2012 Primary Election will be offered from February 27 through March 15.  The 44th Ward location is:

Voters registered in the City of Chicago may use any Early Voting site in the city, regardless of where the voters live.  Voters don't need a reason or excuse to use Early Voting -- but voters do need to present government-issued photo identification.

Ballots cast in Early Voting are final. After casting ballots in Early Voting, voters may not return to amend, change or undo a ballot for any reason. It is a felony to vote more than once -- or to attempt to vote more than once -- in the same election.
