A Guide For The Voters On Elections 2014

By Lila Bryant


The time has come when every voter could already narrow the options that they have for the candidates in the political list. It is essential for every person to vote since this is already their chance to select the one that could really lead the government. It would be a general election in the coming Illinois Elections 2014.

During this time, the positions for the executive officers will be chosen. There is a voting for the seat on the US Senate. Candidates for the eighteen seats on the House of Representatives are also there. The primary elections for the other seats are done already.

If you wanted to verify if you have registered so you can vote, you can use the Registration Lookup in their official website. You will only need to enter your name and your zip code. It would not take a long time for you to get the result. Once it shows up, if you are registered, it will be providing you the location of the polling place.

When you are certain that you registered on it, all you need to do is to look for the location of your polling place. You can check for that when you visit the Election Authority website. You could check on the polling places for each counties in their list. If you have recently moved to that area, you have to see to it that you know where to go. Voting on the wrong precinct would make your vote invalid.

It would usually open at six in the morning. By seven in the evening, it would close. There are those who have valid reasons in which they needed to vote early. People are allowed to do that. They just need to check the schedule on when the early voting will be available.

If you did not register yet, the registration period would last up to twenty eight days before that election. You should register in person at the election authority office. Voters are usually given a Grace Period so that they can still register and file for an update to their addresses. They can also file on changes for their name at these times.

You would be required to present two valid IDs. One ID should show the address where you are currently living in. You can use your driving license and your state identification card. You could also use your passport. You can also show your utility bills, bank statements, government check, payslips or other documents from the government which shows your name and your address.

You should have an ID when you have applied for the Early Voting. It is important on new voters who registered through the mail and was not able to show the Board their IDs. This is also needed if there would be an instance that the Board has seen a mismatch on the signature or discrepancy of information provided to them.

Voting is a crucial task. This is not beneficial to the voter but to the people of the area as well. You should think if the one you will be choosing can make you area progressive.
