Early Voting Kicked Off Yesterday in Illinois

Early voting is now underway in Illinois for the November election. Residents can cast ballots in person for several weeks ahead of Election Day, giving voters more flexibility to choose when and where they participate. This year’s ballot includes major statewide and local contests, including races for governor, U.S. Senate, state comptroller, seats in the Illinois General Assembly, and the Chicago school board. Election officials encourage voters to check their registration status, review sample ballots, and confirm early voting locations and hours before heading out. Mail-in voting options are also available for eligible residents across the state.
