Early Voting and Election Day Polling Place Changes


The Highland Park police station located on 1677 Old Deerfield Road will be the New Early Voting Site, replacing the Community Health Center on Green Bay Road. There will be plenty of parking and space for voters to get in and out quickly.

At the request of North Shore School District 112, we have also moved election day voting sites from Red Oak School, Ravinia School, and Lincoln School. To replace school sites we have added more precincts to Ravinia Festival, transferred some to a new Immaculate Conception site, and will also use the Police Station on election day. All new sites have plenty of parking and will provide easy access.

Our County Clerk Willard Helander has been a great help responding to the requests from our schools. Willard had her staff work with Mayor Rotering and myself to provide good polling place alternatives for election day and early voting. The change in the early voting site will accommodate easier access to more citizens and provide opportunities for future efficiencies during our county election process.

More information will be forthcoming from our County Clerk and our local towns in the near future but wanted to give everyone a heads up since the Lake County Board approved the changes on Tuesday.
