I asked myself this question this morning so I decided to check. I googled "Am i registered to vote?" And pulled up the Illinois State Board of Elections, ---> https://ova.elections.il.gov/registrationlookup.aspx
I filled out the form and pressed the Submit button. It came back saying "REGISTRATION STATUS COULD NOT BE RESOLVED."

I then called the country clerks and the nice lady who answered asked me a couple of questions and verified I was indeed registered to vote.

This is a BIG problem! The State of Illionis says i'm not registered, when I really am. This false information could have detered me from showing up at the polling station to cast my vote and I'll be damned if I'm not going to exercise my right to vote.

Do you have to pre-register? We can register at the polls in NH, so that wouldn't deter me! And yes, I am registered to vote and will be doing so this week :)

At a girl - vote!

I believe in IL, you have to pre-register. I got my voter ID card when I got my driver's license. I'm a registered independent and because of this I get calls from both parties. BTW if the polls are messed up it's because of me. One day I'll be a basement dwelling low IQ Hillary voter, the next day I'll be a deplorable common reneck Trump voter. Gotta keep them guessing, besides it's nobodies business but my own. :lol:

I was just talking with my wife about this, she's not registered to vote and she told me I have to vote for the family. I thought that was kind of funny because my vote only counts for myself.

I think I'll show up at the polling station Tuesday and tell them in broken english that I'm Jaun Hung Guy from Nicaragua, i arrived yesterday to your beatuful land to cast my vote for me and my wife for barack hussein obama.

Everything us a big deal here. Sigh. I tried to avoid discussing politics on Facebook. I got involved in a rather cordial disagreement with someone, all was well until someone else piped in and attacked. Boy I love that BLOCK button. No time for that nonsense.

My daughter likes to vote with me. Of course it's more exciting when it's a presidential election but at least voting for governor is exciting for her too lol

Social media is not helping politics...….it is way too easy for fools to make even bigger fools of themselves.

You have a way of saying things that are true but don't offend any one particular person or group of people. I don't know if this is intentual or not, but it's a great gift... One of these days I would like to meet you and your husband face to face, because I'm pretty sure your would tell me like it really is, face to face :)

I can be extremely insulting and put it in such a way to make you agree and like it. LOL LOL But I would rather use my time to keep the peace, bring a smile and speak the truth. Yes, I can get really real, but I prefer to do so diplomatically, especially on a public forum. HAHA on BYH, I did mention that I call male lambs Democrats, cut their nuts off, name them Dinner and eat them. How's that for telling you like it is?
