DEPUTY
REGISTRARS
The Volunteer Deputy Registrar Program offers a
convenient method of voter registration for residents of the City of
Bloomington. It has proven to be
the most effective and efficient means of reaching eligible citizens who are
not yet registered to vote. Deputy Registrars may register voters who
reside anywhere in the State of Illinois, and the Board of Elections will
forward the registrations to the proper jurisdiction.
