Illinois residents registered to vote for the Nov. 6 general election can begin casting their ballots Monday at early voting locations.
The city’s 51 early voting locations will be open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday through Nov. 3. Locations at The Board of Election Commissioners, Welles Park and Mount Greenwood Park will also be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays.
In suburban Cook County, 44 early voting locations are open. Locations are listed at http://www.cookcountyclerk.com/elections/earlyvoting/Pages/EarlyVotingLocations.aspx.
Voters can use any of the early voting locations and do not need to provide a reason for casting their ballots in advance.
Voters must provide a valid government-issued photo identification and will not be able to change their ballot once it is cast.
Chicagoans can find their nearest early voting location at chicagoelections.com.
