DuPage Dems Weekly

Fellow Dems, Below is a Statement from the County Clerk About Vote By Mail (VBM). A Few Quick Notes on VBM VBM applications have started going out to registered voters in DuPage. You can still apply online at votedupage.com/vbmapp. You can apply either way, but don't need to do both. If you plan to early vote in person or vote on election day, do not apply for VBM. Postage is not required to send back the VBM application mailed to you, you can just drop it in the mailbox. Any questions, please reach out to us at info@dupagedemocrats.com.

In June, Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the bill into law to ensure safe and active participation in the 2020 General Election. The DuPage County Clerk’s office is going beyond the SB1863 mandate to send applications to all electors who have participated in any election since the 2018 general election, by instead providing applications to all 616,337 voters in the County. Although not required, the Clerk’s office will also pay for the postage of all returning applications and ballots. The Clerk’s office is using funds made available this year through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) for the mailing of applications and ballots. To date, 26,000 voters have already applied for Vote by Mail ballots in DuPage County for the Nov. 3, 2020 election; roughly 55,000 total voters chose Vote by Mail for the 2018 General Election. Voters who applied prior to July 4th will not be receiving an additional mailed application. Ballots will not begin to be mailed out until Sept. 24, 2020. It may take four to five business days to receive a ballot after that date. Voters will continue to have the option of casting ballots during Early Voting or at Election Day polling places. Due to COVID-19, all 2020 General Election voters are encouraged to cast a ballot prior to Election Day, either by mail or during early voting. Voting by mail is an easy option for voters and you can request a vote by mail ballot through email, mail, or in person. An application is available from your local election authority or at https://elections.il.gov/electionoperations/VotingByMail.aspx.
