“A voter may choose to vote at any Early Voting site that’s convenient for them, no matter where they live within Chicago.

Voters can also apply to Vote By Mail and the deadline to apply is Thursday, June 23 at 5:00pm. All Vote By Mail ballots come with postage-paid Ballot Return Envelopes, or voters can choose to return their Vote By Mail ballot at any secure drop box at an Early Voting site, the Supersite at 191 N.

We have made it easy and convenient for any voter to request and return their ballot,” said Chair Marisel Hernandez.

Online voter registration has now closed in Illinois ahead of the June 28^th Primary 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.

Chicago voters can visit chicagoelections.gov to access all of their voter information on the Your Vote Information page. There, voters can verify their voter registration status ahead of the election, see and print their sample ballot, view the locations of the Early Voting sites, locate their precinct polling place for Election Day, and check on the status of their Vote By Mail application.
