Early Voting Begins Oct. 19 at Lemont Township Community Center

Mark your calendars, Lemont voters: early voting rolls out on Monday, October 19, at the Lemont Township Community Center, 16300 Alba Street. It’s your chance to avoid the November rush and get your ballot in before Election Day on November 3.

From Oct. 19 through Oct. 31, the center will be open most days from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a couple of shorter windows—10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 25 and Nov. 1. The schedule looks like this:

• Oct. 19‑23: 9 a.m.–5 p.m.
• Oct. 24: 9 a.m.–5 p.m.
• Oct. 25: 10 a.m.–4 p.m.
• Oct. 26‑30: 9 a.m.–5 p.m.
• Oct. 31: 9 a.m.–5 p.m.
• Nov. 1: 10 a.m.–4 p.m.
• Nov. 2: 9 a.m.–5 p.m.

The upcoming general election isn’t just about the governor’s race. Voters will also decide on a slew of county positions—County Clerk, Sheriff, Board members, Treasurer, Assessor—and several judicial seats. And there’s a notable referendum on the ballot, asking whether to raise the limiting rate for Lemont‑Bromberek Combined School District 113A by an extra 0.36 percent for the 2026 levy year. In plain language, the question is whether the property‑tax cap should be nudged up to fund school programs, building maintenance, and other educational needs.

If you live in DuPage County, you can locate your nearest early‑voting site on the county’s official website. For Cook County residents, the Lemont Township location is the designated spot.

Whether you’re a first‑time voter or a seasoned participant, getting to the community center early can save you time and ensure your voice is heard. Bring a valid ID, your voter registration card if you have one, and be ready to sign in.
