On Tuesday, November 5 more than 1,200 polling places citywide will open from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. for voters to cast ballots in their own neighborhood. In addition, even on Election Day, any voter can go to any Early Voting Site to cast their ballot.

Early voting has begun in all 50 wards and runs through election day. You can vote at any early voting site, not just the one in your ward. Get more information about early voting and find your nearest site on the Chicago Board of Elections site.

Beginning August 7, you can apply to vote by mail on the Chicago Board of Elections website. The board will mail your ballot to your home. You can either return your ballot by mail or drop it off in a drop box at any early voting site.
