Remember, early voting in McHenry County is now underway at the Election Center, at 410 South Eastwood Drive in Woodstock, and beginning on Monday October 19th will commence at eleven different locations scattered around the county, many of which have ballot dropboxes for vote-by-mail ballots.  Here's the full schedule.

Indivisible writes:  "For more than a year, millions of people have come together to reject the idea that power belongs to kings, billionaires, or politicians who believe they are above the people and the law.  Now, we are taking the next step, turning people power into voter power. Unlike previous No Kings actions, No Kings: Vote Early, is not purely a protest. Instead, on October 17th, it's a day of nonpartisan voter participation: we are bringing our community together to make a plan to vote early and ensuring every eligible voter understands their options for how to vote and has the opportunity to make their voice heard."
