Other states have straw polls but no one has ever done what we’re doing. Voters from Chicago to Cairo will have their votes counted on who they prefer to be the nominee for President via the Internet or a location near their home.
Online voting opens at 9:00 AM Central Time on Saturday, October 29 and closes at 7:00 PM on Saturday, November 5 at IllinoisStrawPoll.com.
On the ballot will appear the following candidates:
- Michele Bachmann
- Herman Cain
- Newt Gingrich
- Jon Huntsman, Jr.
- Ron Paul
- Rick Perry
- Mitt Romney
- Rick Santorum
In-person paper voting, run by our GOP county chairmen wishing to participate, will take place from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM Central Time on Saturday, November 5. The results from both the online and paper polls will be combined and announced at a special event scheduled at the GOP headquarters in Chicago the night of Saturday, November 5th.
Voters who want to participate in the Illinois Straw Poll, either online or in-person, must be Illinois Residents (for online voting, you must have a credit/debit card with an Illinois Zip Code) and contribute $5 to the Illinois Republican Party to help cover the cost of the straw poll. The proceeds will help candidates up and down the ballot.
Once you vote online, you’ll be given an opportunity to volunteer or donate to the Republican presidential candidate you support.
