Early Voting Option prior to November 3, 2020
Here’s an option for people who feel unsafe about voting in person, but now fear the USPS will be unable to deliver a “mail-in” ballot in a timely fashion:
- Apply on line now for a mail-in ballot at ChicagoElections.gov/votebymail
- Starting on October 14 there will be Secured Drop Boxes at all Early Voting locations.
- After you fill in your ballot you should sign and seal the envelope.
- You can then bring it to the Early Voting location.
- If you applied online to Vote By Mail, you’ll later get an email confirming your ballot has been received. At a later time you will be informed that it has been accepted and notified if there are any problems.
- The ballots at Early Voting locations are transported (under chain of custody protocol) to the Board of Elections facility.
- List of locations and hours for Early Voting will be available in September at ChicagoElections.gov/EarlyVoting.
