(Lea esta historia en español vía Telemundo Chicago aquí) Election Day is one week away, and Illinois voters have a variety of ways that they can choose to cast their ballots in what is shaping up to be an historic vote. Whether by-mail or in-person, Illinois voters can not only choose to cast their ballots early, but they can also register to vote up until Election Day through “grace period” registration. Here’s what you need to know about casting your ballots this November. Where Can I Vote on Nov. 8? If you are choosing to vote on Election Day itself, but are unsure of where your polling place is, then you have several options. All voters in the state are mailed cards by their county clerk’s office prior to the election, and their polling place is usually located on the cards. If you want to verify your polling place, then the State Board of Elections operates a digital tool to allow you to do so. Voters simply enter their ZIP code into the finder, then submit their address, and the lookup tool will find your current polling place. Voters will also be given options if they want to vote early elsewhere, and can also receive information on “grace period registration,” which allows Illinois voters to register to vote up until the end of Election Day. Where Can I Vote Early? With one week to go until Election Day, authorities across the Chicago area have opened additional early voting sites for those seeking to cast ballots prior to Nov. 8. For most of the Chicago area, nearly every county has multiple sites for voters to choose from, where they can cast ballots in-person. Rules do vary by site, with many accepting all eligible voters and grace-period voters who need to update their registration or to register to vote for the first time. Here’s basic information for every county in the area, and links to all appropriate county clerks’ offices. Chicago Early voting sites are already open at the Chicago Board of Elections Supersite, located at 191 North Clark Street, and at the board’s office at 69 West Washington. Beginning Oct. 24, all 50 wards will also open early voting sites. A full list of those sites, and more information on early voting, can be found on the CBOE website. On Friday, the Board of Elections announced that “due to construction and additional emergency factors” the voting site in the 5th Ward, which was located at Jackson Park, would move to the South Side YMCA, located at 6330 S. Stony Island Ave. The site is slated to open Monday. “Recent construction at Jackson Park has made the entrance to the building and all surrounding sidewalks inaccessible to voters,” the CBOE said. “The South Side YMCA is located approximately one block away from Jackson Park.” Cook County Suburban voters will be eligible to cast early ballots at dozens of locations across the county beginning on Oct. 24. Hours vary by location, but all the pertinent information can be found on the Cook County Clerk’s Office website.
