Chicago voters can choose these alternative ways to vote:
• Election Day Voting: On Tuesday, November 3, all 1,291 precinct polling places across Chicago's 50 Wards will be open from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
• Vote By Mail: Chicago voters have until 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 29, 2026, to fill out an application to request a Vote By Mail ballot. Vote By Mail ballots must be postmarked by the close of Election Day on November 3, 2026, and returned to the Chicago Board of Elections. If voters choose not to return their ballot through the U.S. Postal Service, we will ensure their votes will be counted by instead returning their sealed and certified VBM ballot envelopes in drop boxes managed by the Chicago Board of Elections located throughout the city.
