Why Your Vote Matters
Bloomington deserves diverse viewpoints. Your vote for me ensures that our community will have it.
You've heard it before: every vote matters - and it's true. However, this year, your vote is especially important. City Council elections are often decided by just a few votes.
The nine-member Bloomington City Council currently consists of eight Democrats and one Republican. That Republican has chosen not to seek re-election after two successful terms. Without your vote, the Council may become controlled completely by Democrats.
Information for Voters
Here you will find links to register to vote, find out your polling place and how to vote, and contact other members of the City Council. Thank for choosing to vote, and for your support!
Registering to Vote
There are several ways to register to vote. Perhaps the easiest is to contact me and ask for a voter registration. I will bring you a form and ensure that you are properly registered before the deadline. If it is more convenient, you can register online. You may also download the form (requires free PDF reader), print it and complete the form, and return it to the County Clerk using the provided instructions.
The registration deadline to vote in this year's election is October 10. Be sure to complete your registration so that all information is received by the County Clerk by this deadline!
