Early Voting Begins For Runoff Races

For 14 Chicago wards, it's back to the voting booths as early as Monday

It's déjà vu all over again for 14 Chicago wards facing runoffs.

Early voting begins Monday for the April 5 elections. More than 2,100 candidates across Cook County are on the ballot, including hotly contested races involving long-time Chicago City Council members.

Polls are open through March 31 at 17 Chicago sites and 43 suburban locations from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. Some locations are open Sundays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Voters registered in any of the 14 Chicago wards may use any city site, regardless of where they live, officials said.

Head to chicagoelections.com or cookcountyclerk.com for a full list of polling sites, along with candidate lists and referenda questions.
 
Early voters don't need a reason for voting early but must bring a valid, government-issued photo ID.
 
For those voting absentee, the deadline to request a ballot is March 31.
