Grundy County Clerk, Kay Olson announces new Voter Registration Cards

MORRIS- Grundy County Clerk, Kay Olson, has announced that new Voter Registration Cards have been mailed to all 35,096 current Grundy County registered voters, as required by law.

The new Voter Registration Card replaces all previously issued cards and will include the voter’s name, address, township, precinct, polling place and units of government for which the voter is entitled to vote. Olson urges voters to check their voter’s card and familiarize themselves with their voter information. Recent legislative changes and those made by the County Board have redrawn the boundaries of several districts and the new cards will reflect these changes.

Please review and sign your new card and destroy your old card. Should there be any errors, please make the necessary corrections and return the card back to the County Clerk’s Office immediately. You may also use your new card to change your address within Grundy County by filling out the change of address section on the back of the new card. If you have changed your name, you must re-register.

In order to assist the Clerk’s office in keeping registration files up to date, any voter card received for an individual, no longer residing in the household, should also be returned to the Clerk’s office. If the addressee is deceased and the death occurred out of Grundy County, please notify the Clerk’s office in writing.

“Now is the time for voters to check their registration status for accuracy and notify the clerk’s office if they notice a problem. Now is also the time for those people who are not registered to vote, to get registered” Olson said. Taking these steps now will help to eliminate any Election Day issues for the upcoming June 28, 2022, General Primary Election.

Anyone wishing to serve as a Judge of Election is encouraged to fill out the back of the voter registration card and return it to the County Clerk’s office. Voters are not required to present their voter card in order to vote early or on Election Day, though it is helpful as a quick reference tool for your correct precinct number and voting districts.

If you have any questions, or have not received your new voter card by March 1st, please contact the County Clerk’s Office at 815-941-3222, #1 or at elections@grundyco.org
