Suburban Cook County voters will have more options and greater flexibility to cast their ballots in the November 3 Gubernatorial General Election, with Early Voting beginning October 7 at six locations and expanding to 56 sites across suburban Cook County on October 19, according to Cook County Clerk Monica Gordon.

For added convenience, voters who choose to Vote by Mail can return their completed ballots in a secure Smart Ballot Drop Box available at every Early Voting location. Smart Ballot Drop Boxes provide voters with a secure and convenient way to return their mail ballots, while also allowing voters to track their ballot and confirm its status.

Voters may cast a ballot at any Early Voting location, regardless of where they live in suburban Cook County, giving residents the flexibility to choose the location and time that works best for their schedule.

The Clerk’s Office has also posted complete candidate and referendum information for the November election. Voters can visit cookcountyclerk.com/VoterInfo to view their personalized sample ballot, review the candidates and referenda that will appear on their ballot and print a copy to bring with them to the polls. The Your Voter Information tool also allows voters to check their registration information and find their Election Day polling place.

All six Early Voting locations will be open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The six Early Voting locations opening October 7 are:

Rolling Meadows Courthouse, 2121 Euclid Ave., Rolling Meadows

Skokie Courthouse, 5600 Old Orchard Road, Skokie

“Early Voting gives suburban voters flexibility and convenience, allowing them to cast their ballot at a time and location that works best for their schedule,” said Clerk Monica Gordon.

“Whether voters choose to vote early in person or return a Vote by Mail ballot through one of our secure Smart Ballot Drop Boxes, we are making it easier for voters to choose the option that works best for them. Our goal is to make voting convenient, accessible, and secure for every eligible voter.”

Beginning October 19, Expanded Early Voting will be available at 56 locations throughout suburban Cook County.
