Illinois voters go to the polls for the 2026 General Election on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. This is a major midterm ballot: Governor and Lieutenant Governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, all Illinois General Assembly seats, and a full slate of Cook County offices will be decided. ROWT wants every Wheeling Township Republican registered, informed, and ready to vote.

Early Voting, Vote by Mail, and Grace Period Registration
Illinois offers several ways to cast a ballot before Election Day. Registered voters may vote early in person at designated early voting sites in the weeks before November 3, or apply for a vote-by-mail ballot through the Online Voter Application above. Illinois also allows grace period registration, which lets eligible residents register and vote at the same time during a limited window right up through Election Day. Exact early voting dates, vote-by-mail deadlines, and grace period registration locations are set closer to the election; check the Cook County Clerk's website for the current schedule as November approaches.
