Tuesday is the last day to register to vote in the upcoming November elections, and NIU has a couple of campus spots for signing up.

Two forms of ID are needed to register, one with a picture and the other with a local address printed on it. For NIU students, a picture ID and a hall entry card will work.

“It takes two to three minutes,” said Gail Jacky, associate director of the University Writing Center, located in the basement of Stevenson Towers South. Jacky is a deputy registrar.

There are a number of places to register on campus: the writing center; The Student Association, in the Campus Life Building, Suite 180; and the Student Legal Assistance Office, on the sixth floor of the Holmes Student Center.

Voter registration is also available at these noncampus locations: city, village and township clerks’ offices, most banks, the DeKalb County Farm Bureau Office, Kishwaukee College, public libraries and the Secretary of State’s offices.

Should the voter registration card not arrive in the mail within two weeks, the green receipt attached to the back of the registration form will act as proof of voter registration, Jacky said.

A mailable registration form can be downloaded and printed from the county Web site at: www.dekalbcounty.org/elections/coclerk_electionqa.html.
