Voters in Illinois will have the chance to begin casting their ballot for the 2024 general election this week. Beginning on Thursday, September 25, the majority of towns and counties in the state will open for early voting. Illinois takes third place behind Minnesota and Virginia as far as how long election officials give voters to cast their ballots.
Are all voters eligible to vote early?
If you’re a registered voter in the state, you will be able to vote early in Illinois. While most towns and counties will open up a handful of polling places on Thursday, some may need to wait until early October. For instance, in the City of Chicago, early voting will begin on Thursday, October 3 at 9:00 am.
The Illinois State Board of Election’s website allows voters to identify their county to identify the voting locations, their operating hours, and whether or not it will allow voters to register after the deadline to do so through the mail or online passes.
When is the voter registration deadline in Illinois?
The state allows voters to register in person through election day, but after Tuesday, October 8, voters will have to do so online, and after Sunday, October 20, they are required to do so in person.
When is the deadline to request an absentee ballot in Illinois?
The deadline to request an absentee ballot is Thursday, October 31. By that date election authorities have to have received the petition to ensure that they are able to send out a ballot before Monday, November 4, which is when they must be returned.
The requests must be sent to the county election offices. The document will provide an address to where the request should be sent.
