Mayor issues reminders on license‑plate renewals, emissions and early voting

The mayor told attendees that the Secretary of State is not mailing renewal notices for vehicle registration and urged residents to sign up online for email reminders to avoid missed renewals. "I came upon the state requirement ... the state is not sending out license plate renewal notices," he said, and recommended signing up at the Secretary of State website.

He also reminded residents about emissions testing for certain model years, described public works' availability of wood chips for residents, and explained early‑voting options and mail‑ballot deadlines for the presidential primary in suburban Cook County.
