Early voting info
Early voting for the Feb. 24 municipal election will take place Feb. 9-21.Voters registered in the City of Chicago may use any early voting site in the city, regardless of where the voters live.
Voters don't need a reason or excuse to use early voting; however, voters do need to present government-issued photo identification.
Ballots cast in early voting are final. After casting ballots in early voting, voters may not return to amend, change or undo a ballot for any reason. It is a felony to vote more than once—or to attempt to vote more than once—in the same election.
All 51 early voting sites will be open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday hours ( 9 a.m.-3 p.m. ) will be offered at five regional sites: Chicago Board of Elections, 69 W. Washington St.; Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center, 4314 S. Cottage Grove Ave.; Mount Greenwood Park, 3721 W. 111th St.; West Side Learning Center, 4624 W.
