Last Week of Early Voting and Absentee Voting for April 9 Special Election
The Chicago Election Board mailed notices to 120,000 voters on the City's South and Southeast Sides for the April 9, 2013 Special Election in the 2nd Congressional District.
The mailing provides information on each voter's Precinct Polling Place for April 9, as well as information on Early Voting and Absentee Voting.
"We are reminding all of our voters that they have a duty and responsibility to select a new member of Congress to represent the 2nd Congressional District," said Election Board Chairman Langdon D. Neal. "We want every voter to know about this Special Election and all of the options for casting a ballot."
The Second District includes 170 precincts on the South Side of Chicago. The district also covers areas of South Suburban Cook, Will and Kankakee counties.
The distinctive red-white-and-blue mail pieces feature the Postal Service's "Official Election Mail" logo and include information on:
The Polling Place for Election Day for the Precinct where the household is located.
All Early Voting sites and hours. There are five early voting sites. Each site is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Sat., April 6.
Voters who want to vote absentee by mail must submit applications by Thurs., April 4. In-person absentee voting will be available Sun., April 7 and Mon., April 8 at the Election Board, 69 W. Washington.
Information on polling places, Early Voting, Absentee Voting and sample ballots also can be found at www.chicagoelections.com or by calling (312) 269-7900.
NOTE: Chicago voters may text their simplified addresses (example: 1234 E 83 St ) to 312-361-8846. The Election Board system then will reply with a text of the April 9 polling place for that address. Only voters in the Second District are eligible to vote in this election.
This system also will tell the voter if their address is not in the 2nd Congressional District.
