- Chicago State University - 9501 S. King Dr.
- Northeastern Illinois University - 5500 N. St. Louis Ave.

Early Voting FAQ
Any ballots that voters cast in Early Voting are final. After casting ballots in Early Voting, voters may not return to amend, change or undo a ballot for any reason. It is a felony to vote more than once -- or to attempt to vote more than once -- in the same election.
Government-issued photo ID is not required but ID is helpful if there is a question about the voter's registration, address, signature, or if there are two voters at the same address with the same names or similar names.
