Early Voting in Chicago
Just over two weeks before we make our choice for president.
And while wonderful people like you and me will beautifully and dutifully march to their local polling booths on November 4th, other folks just as attractive and talented as you and me will take advantage of the opportunity to cast ballots early.
The Chicago Board of Elections has set up early voting stations at 51 government outposts. There’s one in every ward along with one downtown at the Board of Elections. According to the Board of Elections the city led the state during the primaries as far as ballots cast early.
As a registered voter you are able to cast an early ballot Monday through Saturday (until October 30th) from 9am-5pm at any of the 51 sites. You also can vote on Sunday from 9am -12pm at the Chicago Election Board at 69 W Washington. All you need to do is a state ID (and you have to be registered to vote).
What makes this process attractive is simple – you don’t run the risk of missing the narrow window to cast a ballot on November 4th should something unexpected occur or you’re running late and the line’s long or you have to rush your dog to the vet. Whatever the case may be, by participating early you get to do it the Chicago way and participate often.
Not that you will be able to cast another ballot. That’s not the case. But let’s say you really want one of the candidates to prevail who happens to be from Chicago or represents the State of Illinois, now you have the opportunity to free up time to engage in volunteer activities the day of the election.
How cool is that? Very, very cool.
