Early Voting in Illinois--Making Sure Your Vote Counts

Early Voting in Illinois--Because many things can interfere on the day of an election, taking advantage of the early voting option clears the way to do whatever comes up on election day while having your vote count. 

I voted today in Kane County.  Any number of things could interfere with voting on an official election day--weather, job responsibilities, and any number of other things.  Groundhog Day (February 2, 2010) is the official day for the primary election.

The ballots are ready, the candidates have made their pitches, and there won't be much new (though lots of repeats) between January 12 and February 2.  Once we have sufficient information to make a voting decision, the early voting procedures (at least here in Kane County) were very effective and easy.  I was in and out in only a few minutes.
