The April 4th, 2023 Municipal Election is quickly approaching and there are still multiple ways that you can exercise your right to vote in the Township this election!

This year city council/village board, mayoral and clerk candidates are up for election in Illinois municipalities throughout the state. Local voters in our neighborhood will decide the future within the communities that make up our township; Des Plaines, Park Ridge, Niles, and others.

There are three ways to cast a ballot in suburban Cook County for the 2023 Consolidated Elections. Eligible voters can participate in Early Voting, Vote By Mail or on Election Day at their assigned polling place.

Early Voting

For the April 4, 2023 Consolidated Election, traditional Early Voting will take place March 20 – April 3. As a reminder, voters who participate in Early Voting must vote in person.

Vote By Mail

Any registered suburban Cook County voter with a driver’s license, state ID or social security number on file may request a mail ballot using an online or paper application. Ballots must be postmarked by Election Day in order to be counted.

Election Day Voting

Registered suburban Cook County voters can only vote in their home precinct on Election Day. Residents who are not registered to vote may register and cast a ballot on Election Day thanks to same-day registration and voting. Those who wish to register on Election Day must present two qualifying forms of ID.

Registered and unregistered Cook County residents can find their assigned polling place within Maine Township with the Your Voter Information tool. For a list of all polling places in the Township visit cookcountyclerkil.gov/elections/polling-places.

Visually Impaired and Print Disabled Voters

Visually impaired or print disabled voters may request an accessible mail ballot by calling 312-603-0942 or by emailing james.nally@cookcountyil.gov.
