As a result of the collaboration, Waukegan voters benefit from more convenient and accessible voting sites which began with the 2016 March primary election.

Sit on our couch at the Lake County Fair!

We have the solution to avoiding long lines at Election Day voting sites – couch potato voting. By receiving and returning your ballot by mail, you can vote from the comfort of your own couch beginning September 29. We can almost be sure there’s no waiting line there.

For more voting by mail information, visit our website or stop by our booth at the Lake County Fair from July 27-31. We’ll be glad to have you sit and visit awhile.
