Election Information

Strong Democracies depend on Student Engagement

College students can make a difference in local elections but they can't do it from the sidelines. During the 2014 Election cycle, 83% of 18-24 year olds chose NOT to vote, NOT to be heard. We want that to change!

Which is why the Cook County Clerk's office is encouraging all eligible students to register to vote online for the March 20, 2018 Gubernatorial Primary.  Established parties will be choosing their candidates for Illinois Governor, U.S. Representative, State Representative, State Senator, multiple countywide offices and more. 

The Clerk's office can also help train groups as Deputy Registrars to register their fellow students or community members to vote.

Finally, the Clerk's office wants to hire you to serve voters on March 20.  We have two positions available in our suburban polling places on Election Day:

  • Election Judges earn $190
  • Equipment Managers earn $340

You can learn more about each position and apply online at cookcountyclerk.com/students.

For more assistance or information contact Mark Mesle at 312.603.0988 or mark.mesle@cookcountyil.gov. 

Voter Registration

If you would like to register to vote, please go to the State Board of Elections or contact the Student Leadership Center. The Program Director is a Voter Registrar.

Here is an article regarding very important reasons why young people should vote, 9 Reasons We Need Young Voters.

We will have opportunities to register to vote through the year, such as the Involvement Fest, Reading of the Constitution, etc. Please check the calendar for updates or contact the Coordinator of Student Life (708) 709-3910 or email hmanley@prairiestate.edu, or you can stop by the Student Leadership Center (Room 1260).
