More than 314,000 suburban residents have voted early in the 2024 Presidential General Election and the Cook County Clerk’s Office is encouraging anyone who has not cast their ballot to make a voting plan with just one week to go until Election Day November 5th. Early Voting locations will remain open at 53 suburban sites every day through Monday, November 4, at 5 p.m. All 53 locations also have secure Mail Ballot drop boxes available for voters who wish to drop off their mail ballot. Early voting locations and hours can be found at https://www.cookcountyclerkil.gov/elections/ways-to-vote/early-voting/early-voting-locations. The deadline to request a Mail Ballot is this Thursday, October 31, and all mail ballots must be postmarked no later than Election Day, November 5. The Clerk’s Office is also reminding voters that all Early Voting locations will be closing at 5 p.m. on Monday, November 4, the day before Election Day. Voters must arrive at early voting locations by 5 p.m. to be able to vote on this day. On Election Day itself, voters can cast their ballot at their home precinct between the hours of 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. and the Clerk’s Office will also be offering Election Day voting during these same hours at the five suburban courthouse locations (Rolling Meadows, Skokie, Maywood, Bridgeview, Markham) or in downtown Chicago at 69 W. Washington. Cook County residents who would still like to register to vote can do so at any Early Voting location by providing two forms of identification, including one with their current address, and they must vote in person at the time that they register. Voters can check registration status, view a sample ballot, find their polling place, and more at www.cookcountyclerk.com/voterinfo.
