We've been warning you on the air and in this blog for months - today is the FINAL DAY to register to vote in Illinois. (If you're reading this from another state, your deadline is likely this week too.) If you've moved or this is your first time registering, quick, go to ChicagoElections.com and print out a voter registration form - make sure you get it postmarked and mailed in today. You can also pick up forms at your local library or post office. And, the Chicago Board of Elections office will be open until midnight tonight, so hurry!!!
If you don't make tonight's deadline, there is still one last chance for you to vote in this election. You can participate in the Grace Period Registration/Voting program at the headquarters downtown. This program takes place from October 8 through October 21. You must go in person to the Election Board office, located at 69 W Washington, 6th Floor, and register and immediately cast your ballot. If you decide on this option, make sure you have already decided who you will vote for, as you will need to make your choice immediately after you register.
Remember, its only been eight-eight years since women were given the right to vote - let's not squander what our grandmothers and great-grandmothers fought so hard for!
