Having problems VOTING? The Illinois Ballot-Integrity Project offers these opportunities to report problems and irregularities -

On Election Day if you encounter any problems at the polls, please, please, please, report them to all 4 of the following places;

1) Illinois Ballot Integrity Project at http://www.ballot-integrity.org/blog.
We have affidavits and reporting forms on our website to download but if you do not have forms, get names, addresses and contact information from the voters, have them right down what happened to them at the polls, have them sign it and date it and then you can blog us or fax us with the information at 773-275-7946 or even send the report in by snail mail to IBIP, 5858 N. Talman, Chicago, IL 60659

2) 1-866-OUR VOTE, especially if you need a lawyer to help you right then at the polls or you need to find your polling place and can't get it from your Election Division hotline!

3) The media;
-Bob Koehler of the Tribune has agreed to take reports at BKoehler@tribune.com and you can send them to all of your media links as well.
-Call it into your local TV or radio news desk if you want to try to get some media right then and there at your polling place-take the numbers of the local media with you to the polls!

4) The Chicago Bar Association is asking voters to fill-out the attached one-page affidavit if they did not receive the 1 page corrective flier that was supposed to be given out to every voter about the Constitutional Convention ballot issue and return it to the Chicago Bar Association at pollwatcher@chicagobar.org or fax to 312-554-2054.
