Illinois voting rules: questions and answers

Do I need an ID to vote in Illinois?

Most Illinois voters do not need to show ID at the polls. You may be asked for ID if you are voting for the first time and did not provide a driver's license, state ID, or Social Security number when you registered, or if there is a question about your registration. When registering in person, bring two forms of identification, one showing your current address. Neither has to be a photo ID.

Who can register to vote in Illinois?

To register to vote in Illinois, you must be a U.S. citizen, a resident of your precinct for at least 30 days before Election Day, and at least 18 years old by Election Day. A 17-year-old may vote in the primary if they will be 18 by the general election, and you can pre-register starting at age 16.

Can I vote in Illinois if I have a felony conviction?

In Illinois, you lose the right to vote only while you are incarcerated for a conviction. Once you are released, your voting rights are automatically restored and you can register to vote again immediately, even while on parole or probation.

Can I take time off work to vote in Illinois?

Yes. Illinois law gives you up to two hours off work to vote on Election Day without losing pay, as long as you ask your employer before Election Day. Your employer may choose which two hours you take. If your shift starts less than two hours after the polls open and ends less than two hours before they close, the time off must come during your shift.
