Illinois residents can register to vote online at ova.elections.il.gov (Illinois Online Voter Application), by mail using a voter registration form, or in person at the Du Page County Clerk's office, Secretary of State Driver Services facilities, or designated agencies. Online registration requires an Illinois driver's license or state ID. The registration deadline is 16 days before an election for online and mail registration, though grace period registration is available at early voting sites and on Election Day at polling places with proof of residence. Voters must be U.S. citizens, at least 18 years old by Election Day, and residents of their precinct for 30 days. The village holds municipal elections for village president (mayor) and village trustees in odd-numbered years, consolidated with other local government elections. The most recent municipal election was April 2025, with six trustee seats and the village president position on the ballot. Westmont's next municipal election will be April 2029. Village board trustees serve four-year staggered terms. Information about local candidates, ballot measures, and sample ballots appears on the Du Page County Clerk's election website approximately 40 days before each election. The village does not have primary elections for village positions; all candidates run in the consolidated election. Residents can look up their assigned polling place, verify registration status, and view sample ballots at dupagecounty.gov/election or by calling 630-407-5600. Illinois also provides a statewide polling place lookup at ova.elections.il.gov. Polling places are open from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Election Day. Election records that are public in Illinois include voter registration lists (available for purchase for political purposes under 10 ILCS 5/4-8), campaign finance disclosure reports filed with the Illinois State Board of Elections at elections.il.gov, candidate filings and petitions, precinct-level election results, and early voting/vote-by-mail statistics. The Du Page County Clerk publishes unofficial election results on election night and certified results within two weeks. Historical election results by precinct are archived on the Du Page County Clerk's website. In the November 2024 presidential election, Du Page County reported approximately 67% voter turnout with roughly 420,000 votes cast out of 625,000 registered voters, reflecting Du Page County's traditionally high civic engagement. On November 3, 2026, Westmont and Du Page County voters will decide several important races. Illinois will hold elections for Governor (incumbent J.B. Pritzker's term expires in 2027, so the gubernatorial election is actually in 2026), all 118 Illinois House seats, half of the 59 Illinois Senate seats (depending on district), county offices including Du Page County Board members, and potentially local referenda. No U.S. Senate seat from Illinois is up in 2026 (next Illinois U.S. Senate election is in 2028). Local voters in Illinois House District 81 and Senate District 41 will vote for state legislators. County offices on the 2026 ballot typically include County Board seats, with 18 districts electing members to four-year terms. Absentee voting in Illinois is available through vote-by-mail ballots, which any registered voter can request without providing a reason. Applications can be submitted online at dupagecounty.gov/election starting 90 days before an election, by mail, or in person. Mail ballot applications must be received by five days before Election Day (or one day before for online requests). Completed ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and received within 14 days after the election. Early in-person voting is available at the Du Page County Clerk's office in Wheaton and multiple satellite locations throughout Du Page County beginning 40 days before each election, including evenings and weekends closer to Election Day.
