The Chicago Board of Elections recently released the full list of precinct polling places for the November 8th General Election. Due to the recent once-in-a-decade redistricting process, new city ward map passed by the Chicago City Council in May 2022, and new state law directing Illinois election agencies to consolidate their precincts, many Chicago voters may have a new precinct polling place for Election Day. Voters wishing to vote in-person on Election Day may vote either at their precinct polling place or at any of the 51 Early Voting sites which will be open on Election Day, whichever is more convenient for the voter.

 

“Nearly half of Chicago’s voters have a newly assigned precinct polling place ahead of Election Day. We are urging all Chicago voters to make a plan to vote – either by voting by mail, early voting, or voting on Election Day – and to check their voter information ahead of time by going to our website at chicagoelections.gov or giving us a call at 312.269.7900,” said Max Bever, Director of Public Information, Chicago Board of Elections.

The Board needs additional Early Voting Officials to staff one of 52+ sites for the upcoming election. Officials earn $17 per hour and $230 for Election Day. Applicants must be a resident of the City of Chicago, pass a background check, and be fully vaccinated. Click here to learn more and apply.
