State Rep. La Shawn Ford and the Westside Health Authority are hosting a voter registration event especially for people who’ve served time in prison on Feb. 4 starting at 5 pm. at 4920 W. Madison St.
There are 50 locations across the city where Chicagoans may cast their ballots before Nov. 8th. It’s not too late to register to vote either.
One-day registration runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 8th only. Applicants will be selected by lottery.
Registration will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 22-26 at Oscar DePriest Elementary, 139 S. Parkside Ave. School begins Sept. 6th.
Check with the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners to see if you’re already registered; voters will be picking their political party’s nominees for president, Congress, the Illinois Legislature and other offices.
There will also be a job resource fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jan. 16 at Amundsen Park, 6200 W. Bloomingdale.
If you want to vote in the Nov. 4 elections, you have until tonight at midnight to get registered online.
The schools took part in a citywide effort to get young voters registered before the Oct. 9 deadline. While that date has passed, you can visit the Illinois Board of Elections web site to learn about the grace period, which ends Nov. 3.
The Chicago Park District program now requires interested individuals to create an account, and early registration is recommended.
Help retire the debt for this year’s festival and raise money for next year. If you can’t make it today, your help is still needed.
