Mayor Candidates Hit Trail on Final Day of Campaign

Chicago voters head to the polls on Tuesday to cast ballots for mayor, city clerk, city treasurer and all 50 city aldermen.

Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m, and the website of the Chicago Board of Elections has a tool that allows voters to verify their registration, locate their polling place and obtain a sample ballot.
Voters should call Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan's office if they observe or encounter any suspected improper or illegal activating in Tuesday's contests. Chicago voters can call 1-866-536-3496.

Voters have the right to cast a ballot if they are in line by the time polls close at 7 p.m.

If the voter makes a mistake on a paper ballot and it hasn't been cast, the voter has the right to receive a replacement ballot.

Also, voters can take unpaid time from work to vote, but no more than two successive hours.
