Today ☘️ is the Illinois Primary Election! So if you haven’t voted early, get out there today and vote, baby, vote at your local precinct, which are all open from 6am to 7pm, and as long as you’re in line by 7pm, you’ll be allowed to vote. 🗳️ What? You didn’t already register to vote? No worries because Illinois allows for same day registration at your polling place - just bring two forms of ID (one with your home address). Voter turnout is way up in Cook County and our nearby suburbs, waaaay up, record-breaking in fact! Let’s keep the momentum going, Wilmette. Democracy depends on you. 🇺🇸
