If you're voting today, your signature does the work of a photo ID. Illinois is one of a handful of states that doesn't verify photo ID at the polls. Bloomington Election Commission Executive Director Will Nesbitt said judges are told to "look for something similar that you can find in the signature." If you registered a long time ago, we suggest refreshing yours first.
