SYCAMORE – Although Election Day is more than a month away, residents who know which candidates they want in office can cast their ballots today.

Early voting options start today with absentee and in-person absentee voting at the DeKalb County Legislative Center, but for those who want to punch a ticket Nov. 6, less than two weeks remain for registration.

The voter registration deadline is Oct. 9 for those who want to vote on Election Day, but a grace period between Oct. 10 and Nov. 3 will allow residents who missed the deadline to register with the requirement they vote on-site at that time. Residents must bring two forms of identification – one with a current address – to register.
