1. Where can I register to vote?

In addition to the Board of Election Commissioners Office, registrations are taken at the Peoria County Courthouse, City Hall-City Clerk's Office, the Driver's License Facility, and any Peoria Public Library. You may also register by mail or online.

2. When can I vote?

• The polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day.
• Check your Voter Card for your Election Day polling place location, or see the Election Schedule page.
• Grace Period Registration allows a resident to register or change their address between the 28th and 4th day prior to an election. Grace Period Registration is only available at the Board of Election Commissioners Office. If a resident who registers or changes their address during this time frame wishes to vote in the upcoming election, he/she must do so at the time of registration or change of address.

3. What if I move and/or change my name?

If you move, you must file a written change of address with the Election Authority. The back of your Voter Registration Card contains a Change of Address Form. If you don't have your card, a handwritten note with your signature is sufficient. If you change your name, you must complete a new voter registration form.
