The last day to register to vote has passed; however, it’s not too late to vote in this election by taking advantage of Grace Period Registration And Voting in the county clerk’s office. This method of registration is available only in the county clerk’s office, 10 S. Main, Sullivan, weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and runs from February 21 through election day. If a person registers to vote or change an address during Grace Period and wants to vote in the upcoming election, he/she must vote at the time of registration.

Requirements for registration are:

• Must be a U.S. Citizen;

• Must be at least 18 years of age by election day; 17 years of age to vote in a General Primary if individual will be 18 as of the following general election;

• Must have been a resident of your precinct at least 30 days prior to election day;

• Two forms of identification, one showing registrant’s current address

A few circumstances in which a person would need to re-register or change registration are: (1) A person has married or changed their name. (2) A person has moved to Moultrie County from another jurisdiction [county]. (3) A person has moved within the county; even if it would be next door, a transfer of registration is required.

Special Saturday hours for early voting, and grace period registration/voting will be held Saturday, March 17 from 9 a.m. to noon in the county clerk’s office.
