Chicago Mayoral Election Early Voting Begins In Loop

CHICAGO — Early voting for Chicago's mayoral election kicked off Tuesday in downtown Chicago. Early voters can only cast their ballots at the Loop Supersite, 175 W. Washington St.

Government-issued photo ID is not required but is helpful if there is a question about the registration, address, signature or if there are two voters with the same or similar names at the same address.

Registration services are available at the Supersite. Any voter who needs to register for the first time or file an address update or a name change must show two forms of ID, one of which shows the voter's current address.
