56th Legislative Senate District Appointment Process

Today in Madison County, there are more options to vote than ever before.  Registered voters can apply to vote by mail, vote early up to 2 weeks before Election day at a convenient location or vote on Election day at their local polling place. The County Clerk is the election authority in Madison County. As the election authority, the County Clerk administers the Election by setting up voting locations, training election officials and providing ballots and counting equipment.  For information on voting you may call 618-296-6200 or visit MadisonVotes.com

To vote by mail, call the County Clerk’s office or visit MadisonVotes.com.  In some cases, the Democratic Party will mail an application to voters who have voted in the Democratic Party Primary to encourage them to vote.  Also, your precinct committee person can assist you in getting a mail-in ballot application.  After mailing in an application, the election authority will mail you a ballot.  As long as the ballot is postmarked before Election Day it will be counted.

To vote early, any registered voter can vote at the County Clerk’s office up to 40 days before the Election Day.  In Madison County, there are several convenient locations that will be open two weeks before the Election. Updated information on hours and locations will be updated on this web site.

To vote on Election Day, a voter must go to their local precinct polling location between 6:00AM and 7:00PM. To find your local polling place, refer to the voter registration card that you received in the mail or use the precinct finder at MadisonVotes.com

Now more than ever the modern Madison County Democratic Party is finding ways  to be more representative of the entire community. With more women, minorities and  younger  candidates, Democrats are proving their commitment to being open and inclusive.  Democratic candidates in Madison County are creating the kind of policies needed to help our neighbors and build our communities.

Madison County Democrats have adopted procedures within our party to ensure that candidates are recruited, endorsed and selected in an open manner.  The best example of this commitment has been organizing caucuses for endorsement for the Presidential and Gubernatorial candidates. A public meeting is held prior to the Primary Election allowing any Democrat to have a say on which candidate is endorsed. The Candidate that receives majority support of regular voters attending the meeting will be placed on sample ballots distributed by the precinct committeepersons.
