Voter Registration Ends 2/18/14

Due to a recent change in Illinois law, 17 year olds can now vote in the March 18th primary if they will turn 18 before the general election (11/4/14).  The deadline for registering to vote is next Tuesday,February 18, 2014 so don’t delay (there is a late registration period but you must go to one of the Cook County Clerk’s Offices to register).
