Already made up your mind on who to vote for and want to cast your ballot before Election Day on Nov. 3? You can vote early in the general election at hundreds of locations across the Chicago area beginning as early as Sept. 24.
Officials say early voting provides more flexibility to cast your ballot, with more options for locations and times, spreading out the rush to hopefully avoid a crowded polling place on Election Day - particularly important as the coronavirus pandemic continues.
You can find all of the early voting locations across Chicago, suburban Cook County and 10 other counties in the area, as well as the dates and times they will be open, listed below.
With the exception of some locations in Will County (as noted below), all residents of any of the counties listed can vote at any of that county's early voting locations, excluding Chicago voters at suburban Cook County polling places.
While a government-issued photo ID is not required to vote, it can be helpful to bring one should any questions about registration, address, signature, or more arise during the voting process.
Anyone who is not yet registered to vote can do so online up to 16 days before the election, or in person at several locations like government offices and public libraries up to 27 days before the election.
Beginning Oct. 7, voters will have to register in person - which can be done at any of the early voting locations using grace period registration - and be prepared to cast their ballots at the same time. Those wishing to do so are required to bring two forms of ID, one of which has the voter's current address.
If you requested to vote by mail and want to hand deliver your ballot to your local election authority, bypassing the U.S. Postal Service, you can do so at in person at your county clerk's office. Many of the early voting locations listed, unless otherwise noted, will also accept your mail-in ballot in person or at a drop box on site.
If you requested to vote by mail but would prefer to vote in person, you can do so by surrendering your mail-in ballot to an election judge for cancellation at an early voting site or your polling place, then casting your ballot there in person. If you did not receive your mail-in ballot, you can also vote in person by signing an affidavit that you did not receive it or were informed by your election authority that they did not receive your ballot in the mail.
If you choose to forego both voting by mail and early voting, and just want to vote on Election Day, unless you are in Chicago and Cook County, you will only have one option: your designated polling place, which you can find on your local election authority's website.
Early voting locations and times are as follows:
