PEORIA Ill. – Central Illinois voters are ready to make their voices heard Tuesday.
Tazewell County Clerk John Ackerman tells W-M-B-D’s “Greg and Dan” that polls will be open for in-person voting at 6:00am.
He says while polls close at 7:00pm…if you’re there by that time…you will get a ballot.
“You pull up to a polling location at 6:59pm and you see a line out the door and go, I’ll never make it out that line in time – get out of your car and stand in line. As long as you are in line by 7:00pm, everybody in that line will be allowed to vote,” John Ackerman said.
Ackerman also spoke to recent improvements done in Pekin and four other local townships, for election day.
“Two months ago, we announced that we received $121,000 from the state in the form of a grant, to pay for ADA improvements for our polling locations. Pekin utilized $63,000 of that to pay for massive upgrades that citizens will see tomorrow (Tuesday),” Ackerman said.
Peoria County Election Commission Executive Director, Elizabeth Gannon, says as of Sunday we have had 34% of registered voters already cast a ballot, in Peoria County.
That’s just of 40,000 votes cast.
They are open at the election office Monday, until 7pm, for early in-person voting.
Election coverage starts on 1470 & 100.3 WMBD Radio at 6:00PM, election night.
