Notice of Early Voting - General Election, November 4, 2008

The Aurora Board of Election Commissioners announces Early Voting Requirements for the November 4, 2008 General Election. Voters can cast a ballot prior to the Election Day without offering a reason or an excuse for wanting to vote early, beginning on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 and ending on Thursday October 30, 2008.

Early voting will be conducted at the Aurora Election Commission Office, 77 S. Stolp Avenue, Aurora, IL., Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday hours will be from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 Noon. Early voting will be conducted at the David & Karen Visitor Center located in Phillips Park (Formerly known as Phillips Park Visitor’s Center), 1000 Ray Moses Drive, Aurora, IL., Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. There will not be any weekend hours at the Visitor’s Center. The Visitor’s Center will use the Touch Screen Machines only. Any person wishing to vote on paper ballot must come to the Aurora Election Commission.

State law requires that a registered voter show valid photo identification before early voting. Voters casting an early ballot must display a current driver’s license, a state-issued ID card or another government-issued ID with a photograph.

The law prohibits a person who voted during the early voting period from voting at the polls on Election Day. The vote cast during the early voting time period will not be counted until after the polls close on Election Day.

Absentee voting laws remain in place. Voters can still cast an absent vote by mail by providing a reason as required under law.
