Dear Illinois Republicans,
Election season is here — and it starts with you.
Across Illinois, conservatives are leading in their neighborhoods, school districts, and local governments. But before we can win at the ballot box, we must first get on the ballot.
That means it's time to gear up for petition season.
On August 5, Republicans across the state will be collecting signatures to ensure our candidates qualify for the 2026 ballot. Whether you're supporting someone for county board, state legislature, judicial, Congress — or running yourself — this is where the campaign truly begins.

✅ Check & Update Your Voter Registration

To register online, have your Illinois driver’s license or state ID and the last four digits of your Social Security number ready. Staying up to date ensures you can sign petitions, vote, and participate fully in the election process.
🗳 Become a Poll Watcher or Election Judge
Election integrity starts with you. We need Republican election judges and poll watchers to help safeguard our elections. Every effort—big or small—makes a difference.
During the 2024 election cycle, we partnered with local Republican parties to ensure a strong presence during vote-by-mail processing. As we move forward, Republican election judges are in high demand, and we need your help to continue these vital efforts. With vote-by-mail playing a major role in our elections, all Republicans must act.
We need dedicated patriots at the polls to ensure fair and transparent elections. Serving as a Poll Watcher or Election Judge is one of the most important things you can do to protect the integrity of our elections.
Contact your local Republican County or Township organization today — or reach out to the Illinois Republican Party, and we’ll help you get plugged in.
