Some Cook County Polling Places Open An Extra Hour

COOK COUNTY, IL — If you showed up at your polling place early Tuesday morning to vote in the Illinois Presidential Primary but were turned away because there were no election judges, Cook County Clerk Karen Yarbrough announced hours will be extended until 8 p.m.

Precincts are organized according to township. The following polling places will be open an extra hour:

Orland Twp. 68 - Century Junior High School

Palos Twp. 1 - BVM Ukraine Catholic Church
Worth Twp. 30, 44, 63 - Harnew Elementary School
Worth Two, 92, 94, 96 - Hannum Elementary School

According to the Cook County Clerk, sites are disinfected and screens wiped after each use to reduce the potential for spreading coronavirus.

Voters who are not registered to vote can register and vote at their home precinct only.
Voters planning on registering to vote or updating their address on election day must bring two pieces of identification to register, one with a current address.

No ID is needed when: The voter is already registered at the voter's current address and is voting in the correct precinct; the signature appears to match the voter signature on file. Election Judges do not challenge the person's right to vote.

Suburban voters can use the Cook County Clerk's "Your Voter Information Tool" to find out whose on their ballot, registration status, early polling place, and election day polling place. Voters can search for their proper polling place and sample ballot via address or birthday.

Here’s the complete list of Cook County polling places open until 8 p.m.
