Don't Be Surprised in the Voting Booth

Take a look at your ballot now, to see what will be there when you go to vote on April 2, 2019. There may not be a national election this time, but the local officials  that we select might impact our lives more than those on the national stage.

I can’t attach your ballot, because even within Warrenville, there are multiple districts at every level of government – each with different boundaries. Just considering Warrenville voters, there are many ballot variations.

Follow the steps, just a few clicks, and enter your address and you'll have the ballot. These instructions are for anyone in DuPage county.

1. Go to the Voter Information Page on the Dupage County website: https://www.dupageco.org/VoterLookup/
2. 
   Click on the "Search by Address" tab
   
3. Type your address. Note:the house number includes the numbers and letter (e.g. 28w530). The "Suffix" is your street type (e.g. Street, Road).  It has to match exactly -- for mine Ln works but not Lane. Click Search.
4. Click to "View Ballot" link.

On this page, you can also see your polling place, all your current elected officials, and what districts you are in.

Finding the ballot is the easy part. Now you have the harder job of deciding how to cast it.
