FULL LIST: Early voting locations in suburban Cook County
Cook County Clerk Monica Gordon said she’s already received more than 200,000 requests for mail ballots. Gordon said her office is expanding the ability to track those ballots from the time they’re first printed all the way until they return.
“We know voters want confidence that their mail ballot is moving through the process, as it should,” Gordon said. “Election Lens will now incorporate U.S. Postal Service scanning information, giving our team greater visibility into where mail ballots are in the process and how long they have been at each stage…”
Residents can also register to vote at all suburban Cook County early voting sites.
Photo identification is not required but it can be helpful if there is a question about voter registration, address or signature.
There’s also another opportunity for voters casting mail ballots: they can be placed in a drop box at Soldier Field. Mail-in ballots can also be returned to designated drop boxes at polling locations.
And the early voting expansion isn’t limited to Chicago and Cook County.
Other sites are also opening on Monday in DeKalb, DuPage, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will counties.
Additional information about voting by mail, polling places and more can be found on the Illinois Secretary of State’s website.
