Addison Trail students and staff register to vote

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.
