If you've never taken the plunge to get involved in political action, we encourage you to get to know us by attending a meeting. We are a growing local party, but we need more people like you to step up and share your perspective. We are building teams of people to tackle projects like data entry and analytics, voter registration, special events, social media and content management, and candidate support and canvassing.
Early Voting Begins
BE A HERO...VOTE EARLY!
Early voting begins Thursday, February 6th at the McHenry County Clerk's Office and runs until March 16th.
Where? McHenry County Clerk's Office, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock
When? 8 am to 4:30 pm, Monday - Friday
Skip the lines, take action, and make your voice heard!
Starting March 2nd additional early voting polling locations around the county will be available. See our fact page for locations and times.
Voting early avoids the confusion of changing and crowded polling places on election day. But just in case you or someone you know needs or wants to vote on March 17th, some polling places have changed! Click here to see the list of polling places for the March 17th primary election. Polling place changes are highlighted, and polling places that have changed for the second election in a row are highlighted in dark orange.
Who's on the ballot? Click here to see all candidates running on the Democratic Primary ballot. There are choices for you on this year's ballot, and not only for President. See the cells in green for local competitive races. Precinct Committeepersons are also listed - the election will determine who your PC is!
Don't forget about the referenda on the ballot.
And remember, not all candidates shown will be on your ballot. Joe Tirio, County Clerk, has not yet posted a precinct finder or sample ballot locator on the website, so check your voter's registration card for that information or contact us at vicechair@mchenrydems.org.

Join us in The REV Project- Recruit, Engage, Vote!
This is a grassroots Democrat-to-Democrat outreach effort to identify those who share our Democratic values and engage them to vote.
This is THE most important election of our generation. We need every Democrat to vote in November. To do this we need to first identify and connect with them, then get them to vote. The REV Project will do this, but we need you to make it happen.
We will be meeting every Sunday at the DPMC Woodstock Office to head out in teams to reach those who share our values. You will receive top-notch training before you head out into a neighborhood. Come with a friend or we will pair you up. All you need to bring is your charged phone, comfy shoes, and a smile.
Let's work together and win our democracy back.
