Applying for an Absentee Ballot Online

Absentee voting is also known as Voting by Mail. Anyone can vote using an absentee ballot for any reason.

As of August 21st, 2022, any registered voter may apply for permanent vote by mail online. The online application for an absentee ballot will be available on your election authority’s website at least 90 days before the election. You should contact your election authority if you have questions about how this works.

After checking that you are a registered voter, the election authority will send a paper ballot to the address you provide in your application. The last day to apply for an absentee ballot online is five days before an election.

Once you receive the ballot in the mail, you must fill out the ballot and then mail it back. You must mail it back in the envelope given to you and you must sign and seal it, as instructed. If you mail it back, it must be postmarked no later than midnight on the night before the election. If you wish, you may take your ballot to the election authority and vote your ballot there.

You may receive help in marking your absentee ballot. The person helping you must sign the envelope, stating that they helped you.

Same Day Voter Registration Pilot Program
If you miss the last day to register to vote, you may still register to vote and vote during a special time called the “grace period”. People who miss the voter registration deadline will be able to register and vote on the same day as the election.

To register during the Grace Period you must go in person to the Rico County Clerk's office or to another place chosen by the election authority, and you must vote at the same time. You should contact your local election authority if you wish to register and vote during the grace period or if you have questions about how this works.

Any of the following IDs may be used. You must bring two forms of identification with you, with at least one that has your current address. The types of IDs you may use include:

A current and valid Illinois photo identification
Recent Utility bill
2024 Bank statement
Government check
2024 Payroll stub
Lease or contract for residence
Student ID and mail addressed to voter's
Government document

VOTING REGISTRATION FROM "EQUIP FOR EQUALITY"
Recently, there have been a number of changes that have expanded voting rights and made voter registration and voting easier.

Online Voter Registration
The Illinois State Board of Elections started online voter registration system that allows you to register to vote or update your voter registration electronically on the internet (online). Voting is a fundamental right for all citizens. This fact sheet is designed to give people with disabilities, including older Americans with physical, mental, sensory or cognitive impairments, useful information on exercising their right to vote. Topics include Voter registration, Grace period registration, Early voting, Voting by mail, Voting while living in a nursing home, voting if you are admitted to a health care facility* within 14 days of an election, curbside voting,
and assistance in voting.

Our Office Locations page will give you addresses for each office, as well as phone, fax and other contact information. Our offices are located in the following Illinois cities: Carbondale, Chicago, and Springfield. This system is only for voter registration. You cannot vote online. To use this new system go here.

Note: To use the online system to register to vote, you must provide an Illinois Driver’s License Number or State Identification Card Number. If you do not have either form of ID, contact the Secretary of State to find out how to get one. You can call 1-800-252-8980 or visit cyberdriveilliinois.com.

For Further Information: Voting Information - Illinois State Board of Elections, a public website, contains voting information, lists of Illinois counties and addresses and phone numbers and websites for various county election authorities.
