CHICAGO, IL - Early Voting in all of Chicago’s 50 Wards started today, Monday, February 13, and will be open through Monday, February 27. These sites are open Weekdays from 9:00am to 6pm; Saturdays from 9:00am to 5:00pm; and Sundays from 10:00am to 4:00pm. All Early Voting locations will also be open as Vote Centers on Election Day, Tuesday, February 28, from 6:00am to 7:00pm. Any voter living in Chicago can vote at any of these sites, no matter where they live in the city. All Early Voting sites are fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Currently, nearly 4,000 voters have Early Voted for the February 28th Municipal Election.
Voters can still apply to Vote By Mail and the deadline to apply is February 23rd at 5:00pm, though the Board recommends applying before then. Secure Drop Boxes at all 50 Ward sites are now open, and voters who choose to return their Vote By Mail ballot at any Drop Box at an Early Voting site, the Supersite at 191 N. Clark, or the Board Offices at 69 W. Washington.
Currently, there have been over 200,000 applications to Vote By Mail in Chicago, with nearly 38,000 Vote By Mail ballots already returned.
“Make a plan to vote before Feb. 28th. There are many options for voters to cast their ballot, and we cannot be for certain what the weather is going to be like on Election Day. With the winter we’ve had so far, it could be frigid temperatures or a blizzard, or it could even be raining. So please do not wait until the last second – make a plan to vote and do it today,” said Marisel Hernandez, Chairwoman, Chicago Board of Election Commissioners.
Online voter registration has now closed in Illinois ahead of the February 28th Municipal Election. Voters who still need to register to vote, as well as file a name or address change, can still do so at any Early Voting site ahead of and on Election Day, as well as at their precinct polling place on Election Day. Voters will need to bring two forms of ID, one of those which shows their current address.
Voters can go to the Your Voter Information page to verify their voter registration status ahead of the election, see and print their sample ballot, view the locations of nearby Early Voting sites, locate their precinct polling place for Election Day, and check on the status of their Vote By Mail application.
