The Hayner Public Library District offers a voter registration service at both the Downtown and Alton Square libraries; any eligible resident of Madison County may take advantage of this free service. Several members of our staff are deputy voter registrars and will be happy to help you register to vote, locate your Madison County polling location, or answer any questions you may have about voting in Madison County.
Please call the library before you visit to ensure that a deputy registrar is on duty.
To register to vote you must be a United States citizen, 18 years of age by the date of the next election, and a resident of your Madison County precinct address for at least 30 days immediately prior to an election.
Two forms of identification are required to register through a deputy registrar; at least one of the two forms must show your name and current address. It is required that you use your Social Security number (at least the last 4 digits) or your complete Illinois driver’s license number when registering to vote.
The last day to register to vote prior to the March 20, 2012, General Primary Election is February 21, 2012. Registrations cannot be taken between February 22, 2012, and March 21, 2012. Registration reopens March 22, 2012.
