IEA Votes

Together we can make a difference.

Voting for public education means voting for candidates who will support our students, our public schools and our union. 

Voting Resources

If you need more information on voting in an upcoming election, contact your county clerk’s office.

You can also volunteer to run an election. County clerks across the state need help on Election Day to make things run smoothly. Some election worker positions are paid and some are volunteer. Requirements are minimal.

Or, contact your local party office. The two biggest political parties have county headquarters in each of Illinois’ 102 counties. Here’s how to contact Democrats and how to contact Republicans. They look for volunteers to fill a variety of needs on Election Day from driving people to the polls to feeding volunteers.

Or, if you have a candidate you feel strongly about, contact their campaign and volunteer on Election Day.

#IEAVOTES

Together we can make a difference. Our elected officials matter. Every decision that’s made regarding public education and your school is made by those in elected office. Your advocacy for your students doesn’t end in the classroom. We have to take our fight to the polls.
