March 20, 2012 is
the date of the next election for all registered Illinois voters.
This is a primary election– you will be asked to select a party ballot at the
time of
voting.
Illinois voters are not registered by party– at each primary a
different
party can be selected.
Voters requesting a non-partisan ballot will receive a
ballot with issues only– there will be no candidates.
A recent State of Illinois law permits any registered Illinois voter to
vote by mail without
the need for an absentee
ballot. Requests for a ballot by
mail can be made online at
www.votingbymail.info or by calling the
Lake County Clerk’s office at (847) 377-2406.
