SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Early voting for the November Election is about to get underway in Illinois, at least in most areas of the state.
Chicago and Cook County voters will have to wait until next month to start early voting, but the rest of Illinois can get their ballots in Thursday (9/29), according to State Board of Elections Spokesperson Matt Dietrich.
“The early voting right now is happening in the offices of the local election authorities…that’s mainly county clerks, but on October 24th, you’ll see a big expansion. That’s when hours expand, you’ll see weekend hours,” Dietrich says.
Election authorities can start sending out Vote-By-Mail ballots to those who have requested them as well. The ballots must be returned and postmarked no later than Election Day, November 8.
