December 2018
Surrounded by family and many friends at a Lake County Courthouse public ceremony on December 3rd, Robin M. O'Connor was sworn in as Lake County Clerk by Chief Judge Ukena. Immediately following the ceremony, Clerk O'Connor swore in the staff of both the county clerk's and treasurer's offices. Then she presided over her first Lake County board meeting.
“Thank you, Lake County voters for giving me the opportunity to serve as your county clerk. I am honored and humbled that you have placed your trust in me. Supported by your vote of confidence, I will work tirelessly on your behalf.”
Clerk O'Connor brings a warm and cooperative approach to the clerk’s office. She is a retired Illinois school teacher, has served as a Libertyville Township trustee, and is actively involved with many civic organizations. She is a 30+ year Lake County resident and with husband, Dennis, has four grown children.
 On January 7, 2019, the treasurer and clerk’s offices will initiate the next phase of a new property tax system. This new software will integrate the property tax information from the offices of the township assessors, chief county assessment office, county treasurer, and county clerk.
Soon thereafter, a new online property tax portal will be launched. The website will offer the gathered information in one online source for the public's self-sufficiency and greater transparency.

Lake County’s units of government are currently working on identifying all appointed and elected officials and local government employees who have authority to authorize the expenditure of public funds, execute contracts, and issue licenses or permits.
Once the individuals have been certified by the local government unit, they are required to submit a Statement of Economic Interests to the County Clerk’s office by May 1.
For more information, visit our Statement of Economic Interests web page.

 Election judges are a vital part of the democratic process.
Judges set up the voting site, work in the Election Day voting site to verify voters' identity and issue ballots, and remain after 7 PM until all closing tasks are completed.
To serve as a certified election judge, you must successfully complete a 3-hour in-person Basic Election Judge training class. Training classes will begin in January and are offered at convenient times and places around the county. To increase your base pay rate, you can attend additional specialty training and be assigned to the role. Please note, there will not be any training classes offered for the February election.
If you wish to join our elite team of dedicated election workers for the April 2, 2019 Consolidated Election, complete the online application TODAY! Already trained judges should watch their mailbox for April's election availability letter.
