Get Involved, Go Vote

YPO members are involved citizens dedicated to the success and improvement of Peoria. But you cannot truly be involved unless you vote, so get out there and make a difference! February 2, 2010 is Primary Election Day in Illinois and there are a number of great candidates running for local and state-wide office. For a primary election, voters will arrive at the polls and request either a Republican or Democratic ballot. Some nonpartisan races, such as school board, will appear on both ballots.
Today voting is easier than ever. If you think you will not have time to vote on February 2nd, take advantage of early voting right now. This option is available until January 28th throughout the Peoria metro area. If you live inside the City, early voting is available at the Election Commission (next to the downtown police station), the Care and Treatment Board on Knoxville, or ICC North Campus on University. Early voting is even open on Saturdays. If you live outside the City, contact your County Clerk for a list of locations. The County Clerk's office can help you register to vote as well.
