Early voting at Fremont Township starts today and runs through March 14. Voting is around the back of our building in the lower level Monday through Friday 9 am til 5 pm, Saturday 9 am til 2 pm and closed on Sunday.

You may bring a mail in ballot and place in their drop box at a polling place during voting hours. The county also has drop boxes at the Courthouse in Mundelein at 105 Route 83 and at the Lake County Permit Facility at 500 Winchester Road.

If you need to vote earlier than March 2, voting at the Lake County Courthouse is open from February 5-February 27, Monday through Friday from 9 am til 5 pm.

Important information for vote-by-mail voters

Mail postmark rules have changed. Ballots are now postmarked when processed, not when you drop them in the mailbox—this can cause 1–2 day delays.

If you’re returning your ballot close to Election Day:

• Request a manual postmark at the post office

• Use a secure drop box

• Deliver directly to your election office during voting hours

Don’t risk a late postmark. Make sure your vote counts.

What is the Board of Review?

The Lake County Board of Review acts as an unbiased intermediary between assessors and taxpayers. The Board's hearing officers play an important role in striving for equitable and fair property assessments in Lake County through the assessment appeal process.

What are the Hearing Officer's Responsibilities?

Hearing officers hear testimony on written appeals of any real estate parcel that is claimed to be over-assessed or under-assessed. The Board reviews the assessment and either deems it to be just or corrects it as necessary.

How do I Qualify to Become a Hearing Officer?

You must have experience in real estate, and pass a qualifying exam given by the Department of Revenue.

What is the Time Commitment?

Board of Review hearings are anticipated to take place between the months of August through December. Hearings are scheduled daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Waukegan. Scheduling is flexible depending on the officer's availability.

Are Hearing Officers Paid?

Yes. Hearing officers act as independent contractors and are compensated for time served.
