CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Early voting began Friday in the Loop's Super Site for the April 2 runoff election to determine Chicago’s next mayor, city treasurer and aldermen in more than a dozen wards across the city. Candidates appearing on the runoff ballot are those who did not win more than 50 percent of the vote in the Feb. 26 election.
Voters can visit dozens of locations around Chicago starting March 18. Or, you can opt to vote by mail. If voting my mail, make sure to request your ballot before March 20 to ensure time for delivery. The official deadline for vote-by-mail applications is 5 p.m. March 28; all vote-by-mail ballots must be postmarked by April 2.
All registered voters can vote early or vote by mail—no excuse is needed. Chicagoans can vote early at any site in the city, regardless of their address.
Registration services are available at every early voting site. Election day registration is also available, but only at the polling place assigned to a voter’s home precinct. Find your polling place here. If you’re registering to vote for the first time, or need to file a change of address, bring two forms of ID (one must show your current address).
