The November 3 General Election is just over a week away, and I want to remind Illinoisans of the importance of making their voices heard at the ballot box.
Elections give us the opportunity to have a say in the decisions that shape our communities and the future of our state. From taxes and public safety to education and the cost of living, the people we elect make decisions that affect our daily lives. That is why I encourage every eligible voter to take part in this year’s election.
While Election Day is November 3, Illinoisans do not have to wait until then to cast their ballots.
Early voting is already underway across the state, providing voters with additional opportunities to participate ahead of Election Day. Whether you choose to vote early or head to the polls on November 3, I encourage you to take a few minutes to make a plan.
Early voting locations and hours vary by county, so be sure to check with your local election authority before heading to the polls.
With Election Day quickly approaching, I hope everyone will take the opportunity to participate in this important process. Our representative government works best when citizens are engaged and willing to make their voices heard.
