DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) — The State Board of Elections offers an easy tool to check whether someone is registered to vote in Illinois.

The Illinois Online Voter Registration Lookup requires a first and last name, birth date, and zip code. The lookup may require a street address to be verified before providing voter information.
