Glendale Heights, Illinois Public Records

Illinois residents can register to vote online at www.ova.elections.il.gov, the Illinois State Board of Elections online voter registration system, though this requires a valid Illinois driver's license or state ID. Voter registration closes 16 days before any election, though the state provides grace period registration at early voting sites and on Election Day at polling places with proof of residency. New registrants must provide two forms of identification showing their current address. The village holds municipal elections in consolidated election years - those odd-numbered years - on the first Tuesday in April. The next municipal election for Mayor and Village Trustees will occur on April 6, 2027, with primary elections, if needed, taking place in February 2027. Information about municipal candidate filing and local ballot measures can be found at www.glendaleheights.org and through the Du Page County Clerk's election division. Residents can locate their assigned Election Day polling place using the lookup tool at www.dupageco.org/election or by calling 630-407-5600; these locations are assigned by precinct based on residential address. Early voting for all elections is available at multiple locations throughout Du Page County, typically beginning 40 days before Election Day. Illinois law makes extensive election records publicly accessible under the Illinois Election Code (10 ILCS 5). The State Board of Elections maintains voter registration statistics and election results at www.elections.il.gov, while the Du Page County Clerk provides precinct-level results for all elections. Campaign finance disclosure reports for local candidates are filed with the Illinois State Board of Elections and searchable at www.elections.il.gov/campaigndisclosure, while county candidates file with the Du Page County Clerk. Local voters also elect state representatives and senators representing their legislative districts. Illinois voters can request vote-by-mail (absentee) ballots through the Du Page County Clerk's website or by submitting an application; no excuse is required for mail-in voting in the state. Applications must be received by the Thursday before Election Day for the ballot to be mailed, though in-person absentee voting is available at the Du Page County Clerk's office up through the day before the election. Mail ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and received within 14 days after the election to be counted.
