The deadline for voter registration in Illinois is October 5th, which means you should really get your registration in the mail TODAY to ensure that it gets to the state on time. Hurry up and go download a registration application. It takes 2 minutes to fill out and feels better than eating a whole cake by yourself.

The Chicago Board of Elections also has a handy little tool to help you find your polling place.

Also, if you need to get some more information on registration and voting in this election, Kottke has put together a Voters Information Guide for the 2004 US Election that has just about everything you could ever need.
