    COOK COUNTY CLERK DAVID ORR 69 W. Washington, Suite 500, Chicago, Illinois 60602 TEL (312) 603-0996 FAX (312) 603-9788 WEB cookcountyclerk.com Dear Friends: The March 15, 2016 Presidential Primary shattered modern-day records going back more than 25 years. The popularity of initiatives such as Online Voter Registration and Election Day Registration, as well as registration and voting for 17-year-olds, proved there is a great desire by voters to take part in the electoral process. This was the first presidential election to include Election Day Registration and voting by 17-year- olds who will be 18-years-old by the General Election – offerings we found to be very popular with suburban Cook County voters. This 2016 Presidential Primary Post-Election Report takes a comprehensive look at the voting totals, trends and statistics during the March primary throughout suburban Cook County. Below is a sample size of the standout primary numbers: • Voting before Election Day – by mail, or during early voting and grace period voting – accounted for 22 percent of all ballots cast in this election. • Early Voting set a new primary record with 113,641 ballots cast in a Presidential Primary. • More than 23,000 suburban Cook County voters took advantage of Election Day Registration. • Nearly 4,400 17-year-olds voted, accounting for 62 percent of the 7,085 who registered to vote. • Donald Trump won 25 of the 30 Suburban Cook County Townships, garnering his best total in Stickney Township, with 62.1 percent of the vote. • Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were separated by just nine votes in Norwood Park Township (Clinton: 1,859; Sanders: 1,850).

  • Post-Election Report Takes a Comprehensive Look at the Voting Totals, Trends and Statistics During the March Primary Throughout Suburban Cook County
    Letter from David Orr Cook County Clerk Dear Friends: This March 20 Gubernatorial Primary generated great interest up and down the ballot, and we saw this result in record-breaking or near-record setting marks in the number of registered voters, voters who took part in the election, the percentage of voters who participated in Early Voting, and the overall turnout rate. Not only have we reached a record-high number of registered voters in suburban Cook County (1,549,688), the turnout for Early Voting was higher than any other Gubernatorial Primary and nearly as high as the 2016 Presidential Primary, and the number of voters who cast ballots in this election was more than had participated in a Gubernatorial Primary Election in the last 30 years. This 2018 Gubernatorial Primary Post-Election Report takes a comprehensive look at the voting totals, trends and statistics during the March primary throughout suburban Cook County. Below is a sample size of the standout primary numbers: • Voting before Election Day – by mail or during early voting and grace period voting – accounted for 29 percent of all ballots cast in this election. • Early Voting also set a new Gubernatorial Primary record with 109,811 ballots cast in-person before Election Day. That’s the highest total yet for a Gubernatorial Primary, and for Primary Elections, second only to the 2016 Presidential Primary (120,681). • Election Day Registration, offered for the first time in a Gubernatorial Primary, was popular with voters, especially younger ones. Voters between 17 and 22 years old made up 32 percent of the 4,278 who took advantage of Election Day Registration.

    Democratic Party of Illinois 111 West Washington Street, Suite 902 Chicago, IL 60602 November 13, 2020 Ms. Emily Murphy Administrator General Services Administration 1800 F Street, NW Washington, DC 20405 Dear Administrator Murphy: As Electors from the State of Illinois to the Electoral College, we are writing to urge you to ascertain Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris as the President-elect and Vice President-elect respectively and to immediately begin the post-election transition process. As you are aware, pursuant to the Presidential Transition Act of 1963, the Administrator of the General Services Administration must sign a letter to determine, or “ascertain,” the “apparent winner” of the Presidential election and thus release resources to the incoming administration to enable a successful transition. The election has been independently called for Vice President Biden and Senator Harris and the nation must continue to move forward. As the nonpartisan Center for Presidential Transition recently wrote in an open letter, “While there will be legal disputes requiring adjudication, the outcome is sufficiently clear that the transition process must now begin…. We urge the Trump administration to immediately begin the post-election transition process and the Biden team to take full advantage of the resources available under the Presidential Transition Act.” The letter was signed by Democratic and Republican experts in transitions, including Josh Bolten, Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush; the Honorable Mike Leavitt, former Governor of Utah; Thomas (Mack) McLarty, Chief of Staff to President William Clinton; and Penny Pritzker, Secretary of Commerce to President Barack Obama. It has been reported you may delay ascertainment until the Electoral College meets and votes on December 14.

  • Annual Report 2019
    Illinois Democratic County Chairs' Associaton ANNUAL REPORT 2019 ILDCCA.ORG @ILDCCA IDCCA 2019 ANNUAL REPORT PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Dear IDCCA Family & Supporters, I am proud to be a Democrat at this moment in history. Democrats have a hopeful, positive vision in a future that includes all Americans. We believe in truth and fight for equality, opportunity, and fairness. Since the 2016 election, our task to create a more just and fairer nation has been challenging; however, we have had real success in Illinois. Your support of the IDCCA and its grassroots efforts created Blue Wave victories at every level. The Blue Wave success produced an historic chain of events culminating with the Democratically controlled Illinois General Assembly and Democratic Governor enacting a progressive legislative agenda. We are now back on the right fiscal track and Illinois is open for business. In addition, the Illinois Blue Wave also won key congressional campaigns giving Democrats back the U.S. House of Representatives, allowing the Honorable Nancy Pelosi to become the Speaker of the House. Under her leadership, the U.S. House passed hundreds of pieces of legislation to help working families, provide needed ethics reforms, and moved to hold this President accountable. Illinois stands as an example of all the good things we can accomplish with Democrats elected, with Democrats engaged, and with Democrats participating at all levels. Every Democrat, everywhere, counts. 2019 saw the IDCCA building the framework for our continued success by recruiting, training, and providing resources to candidates, County Chairs, County Parties, PCs, and Democratic grassroots volunteers. We traveled the state to hear from our partners, then enacted new training, as well as expanded resources and engagements based on those dialogues.
