Care about the environment, civil rights, your future? Then, vote! We will be registering students to vote at Maine East High School on February 12 and 13.
2024 is an election year for President and Congress, with the primaries in March and the general election in November. Be ready to make your voice heard. Register to vote now.
You are eligible to vote in the upcoming March and November elections if you:
-
will be 18 by November 5, 2024 and
-
are a U.S. citizen.
Volunteers from Action Ridge will be in Room D300 on Monday, February 12 and Tuesday, February 13, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. to help students register.
Registering is quick and easy. For the most streamlined experience, please bring two of the following items when you come to register:
- your Illinois Driver’s License or State ID,
- the last four digits of your social security number, and/or
- another ID.
The license or one of the other IDs must have your current address.
Permitted IDs include:
- an Illinois Driver’s License or State ID,
- a Social Security card,
- an employee or school ID,
- a credit card,
- a public aid card,
- a valid US passport,
- a birth certificate,
- a school transcript,
- a utility bill issued to you (not your parents) or
- mail postmarked and addressed to you at your current address.
Credit cards, bank statements or bills stored on an electronic device are acceptable.
Students who are naturalized citizens should also bring, if possible, the court, city, state and date of their naturalization. Students who don’t have this information when
registering will need to provide a phone number so the clerk’s office can contact
them prior to processing their registration.
If you forget your IDs but still want to register, come over to Room D300 anyway.
Volunteers can give you the tools you need to register at home.
If you’re already registered, amplify your vote by getting your friends to register. Now is the time for everyone to be ‘Vote Ready!’
