The last day for the Will County Clerk’s Office to receive a Vote By Mail application by mail or electronically is Thursday, March 12, 2026.

Eligible voters can submit their Vote By Mail applications online, by mail, or in person. Once applications open, voters will be able to visit the Will County Clerk’s official website to complete their request or download a printable form.

Anyone who is already registered to receive a Permanent Vote By Mail ballot is asked to review their information before December 17 to ensure your ballot is sent correctly for the March 17, 2026, Primary Election.

• Which established party ballot will you receive?
Double-check that the party ballot you are scheduled to receive is correct.
