On Aug. 31, Addison Trail students and staff members had the opportunity to register to vote in the General Election on Nov. 8, 2016.
A volunteer with the DuPage County Election Commission helped with registration, and nearly 20 students and staff members signed up.
A law signed by former Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn in 2013 allows 17-year-olds to cast a ballot in primary elections, as long as they’re 18 years old by the November General Election. For more information about that law (House Bill 226), go to http://tinyurl.com/jno2st8.
