You have to register first

I wonder if there are some people in Illinois who have a little extra motivation to make sure their voter registration is current.

To register to vote in Illinois, you must register 28 days prior to each election. Illinois must use and accept Federal Form, and also uses a state form.

Where to mail the Federal voter registration form:

State Board of Elections
1020 S. Spring Street
Springfield, IL 62704

Illinois State Board of Elections website

I can only hope that those of us who don't live in Matt Burden's district have men or women of his caliber to support in the next election as well.

For everyone elsewhere that is suddenly motivated to make sure they can vote even if they can't vote for Matt, check the sidebar for links from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to register in your own hometown.

They're in the section labeled "Days since dissent stopped being patriotic."
