Request a ballot by mail

To protect your privacy, you may choose the paper option and print out the form. Ballot request forms are also available at LakeVoterPower.info, or you can request one by emailing VotingByMail@lakecountyil.gov or calling 847-377-2406. The last day to request a ballot by mail is March 10.

Beginning with the March primary, electronic pollbooks will replace the traditional pre-printed paper applications in all early and Election Day voting sites. The touch-screen/keyboard tablet will provide instant voter history updates to the Clerk’s office while the polls are open and help the judges streamline the voter check-in process. |

Each early voting site is equipped with ExpressVote, new touch-screen technology that prints a customized ballot on demand.
ExpressVote’s ballot-marking system is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and provides privacy and accessibility to voters who are blind, vision-impaired, or have a disability or condition that would make it difficult or impossible to mark a ballot without assistance.
