The Knight Foundation notes 100MM Americans still don’t vote. There are many reasons why. Some include apathy, disillusionment or lack of a connection to any of the candidates. Another reason? It isn’t convenient. According to the Pew Research Center, only about 50 percent of registered voters expect that voting in the November 2020 election will be easy. The coronavirus, concerns about mail-in voting and the anticipated strong voter turnout are expected to make this election season more chaotic and, likely less convenient, than usual.

Find your early polling place here. You can also go to www.cityxones.com and click on the Early Voting Cook County tab. The product will show you how to turn on your real-time settings and also gives quick access to some of Cook County’s other voting information.
