Any registered suburban Cook County voter may request a mail-in ballot online at the Cook County Clerk’s Office.
Once your registration is verified and application processed, the County will send a paper ballot to the mailing address that you designate in your application. The deadline to apply, including email verification, is five days before an election (October 29, 2020). Applications for a mail ballot are also available at the Village Hall.

Mail-in ballots will be collected on a daily basis and will be time stamped.
