Due to the length of the ballot, we strongly encourage you to vote early. It's faster (all electronic machines, as opposed to paper ballots on Election Day) and you can choose when and where to vote (on Election Day, you must vote in your own precinct only).
So here's what you need to know:
- Are you registered to vote? Check your status here.
- If you need to register, change your name, or if you've moved, you can register in advance, including online, before February 16th.
- If you want to register during the grace period (February 17-March 14), you can do so at any early voting site. You must vote at the time of registration. Bring government-issued photo ID with you.
- Early voting. You must bring a government-issued photo ID with you.
- Available downtown (69 West Washington) only after about February 17th.
- Available throughout the city. You can vote at any early voting site, not just the one in your ward. All the early voting sites are here. These are the ones closest to Uptown:
- Truman College, 1145 West Wilson, open Monday through Saturday, February 29 - March 12, 9am-5pm

Do any Uptown-area organization hold voter registration drives leading up to the general election?
