What to know about early voting:

• Early Voting is conducted on touch screens that store every ballot style in the county, permitting any voter in suburban Cook to vote at any location.

• Voters do not need to provide an excuse or reason why they cannot vote on Election Day.

• You can register to vote at all Early Vote Sites. Any voter who needs to register for the first time or file an address change must present two forms of ID, one of which shows the voter's current address. (You can also register to vote on election day.)

• Government-issued photo ID is not required but is helpful if there is a question about the voter's registration, address or signature. Providing an ID can also speed up the process because there are ID card readers at every check-in station.

More information about early voting can be found at the Cook County Clerk’s website.
