Permanent Vote By Mail Enrollment Application Mailing

Iroquois County Clerk Breein B. Suver is informing voters that they may apply to be placed on permanent vote by mail status.  This allows those voters who are interested to receive their ballots by mail in all or most elections, depending on the individual’s preference. 

Pursuant to 10 ILCS 5/19-2.5, permanent vote by mail enrollment applications are being mailed to each registered voter in Iroquois County on or about August 16, 2022.

By completing and mailing in the enrollment application for the permanent vote by mail program, you will automatically receive a ballot by mail for ALL elections you designate.  This is NOT a request to vote by mail in only ONE election.

Enrollment in this program will remain in effect until you provide notification, in writing, to cancel registration in the program or if your voter registration becomes inactive for any reason.

To enroll, you must be a registered voter in Iroquois County, Illinois. You must complete and mail in the permanent vote by mail enrollment application form to the County Clerk’s office.  Upon receipt of your signed enrollment application form, you will automatically receive ballots in the elections you specified on the form.  Please note, there will be no separate application for ballot required for you to sign before your ballot is mailed.

If you do not receive your permanent vote by mail enrollment application in the mail and you would like one sent to you, please contact the Iroquois County Clerk’s office at: (815) 432-6960.  Additionally, an on-line application can be accessed at: www.iroquoiscountyil.gov/elections. 

You are not required to sign up for this program.  You can still vote at your polling place on election day, vote early in the County Clerk’s office, or vote by mail as allowed in the past.

Ballots will be mailed to applicants beginning on or about September 29^th, which is also the first day of early voting.  The deadline for applying for a mail ballot is 4:30 p.m. on November 3^rd.  After November 3^rd, voters can still receive a mail ballot by applying in person at the Iroquois County Clerk’s office, 1001 E. Grant, Watseka, IL.  Ballots must be postmarked no later than November 8^th to be accepted, and properly postmarked ballots will be accepted through November 22^nd.

If you have any questions feel free to contact the County Clerk’s office at: (815) 432-6960, Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
