According to the Illinois State Bar Association, many would-be voters are turned away from the polls each election day be cause their names cannot be found on the lists of registered voters. The most common mix-up over registration is due to change of address. People register to vote in their voting precincts and must re-register or transfer their registrations whenever they move from one precinct to another, even within the same county. In order to vote in State or lo cal elections, a person must have lived in Illinois for one year, in a county for 90 days, and in a voting precinct of that county for 30 days. Anyone who moves from one precinct to another should act promptly to register before the deadline for registration.

A special provision in Illinois law makes it possible for people to vote for President and Vice president even though they may not meet residence require ments to vote for state or local political offices or issues. Thus, a newcomer to the State, or person who moves from one II linois county to another, can vote in the Presidential election if he resides permanently in a voting precinct for 60 days next preceding election day, and if he was a qualified voter in the place of his prior residence Those who wish to vote under the 60 day provision must apply in person at the office of the county board of election commissioners or county office, in counties having no election board not more than 90 days nor less than 30 days before the election. Their qualified voter status in the state or county of previous residence must be verified. Failure to exercise the right to vote is another reason for temporary loss of the privilege. The name of any person who voted within the past four years is removed from the election rolls.

That person then must re-register at least 28 days prior to the election.
