Early voting in Chicago pushed back to May 31

This is the second postponement in as many weeks. Here is the statement released yesterday by the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners:

Early Voting for the June 28th Primary Election in Chicago has been pushed back to begin on Tuesday, May 31st at 9:00 a.m. at the Chicago Board of Elections Supersite at 191 N. Clark (Lake & Clark).

The Circuit Court of Cook County made the following rulings over the last few days:

• 1st Congressional District – candidate Stephany Rose Spaulding is OFF the ballot


• Cook County Sheriff – candidate Carmen Navarro Gercone is ON the ballot


• Cook County Sheriff – candidate Noland Rivera is ON the ballot

These changes to the ballot required the new start date for Early Voting in Chicago, as well as additional ballot proofing and pre-election testing of voting machines. Vote By Mail ballots will also start to be shipped on May 31st.

The Supersite at 191 N. Clark will now be open May 31st to June 28th (Election Day) for the following hours:

Weekdays: 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Saturday: 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Sunday: 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Election Day: 6:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. (June 28th)

There will be extended weekday hours for the Supersite (9:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.) from June 20th to June 24th.

Early Voting in each of the 50 Wards in Chicago begins on June 13th and runs through June 28th. You can see all Early Voting locations and addresses by clicking here.

All voters in Chicago may vote at any of these sites, no matter where they live in the City. Voter registration services (new voters, name changes and address updates) will be provided at all Early Voting sites. Two forms of ID, one of which shows the voter's current address, are needed to register for the first time or to file a name change or an address update.
