Need a refresher on how to find your polling place on Election Day? Even if you think you know where to go based on where you voted in the last election, consider checking in—some former precinct polling places are no longer participating due to COVID-19 concerns this year and have had to be replaced, according to the Chicago Tribune.
To search for your polling place, head to the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners website, where you can input your last name and address to look up your voter information, which includes your precinct and assigned polling place. Pro tip: You can also use this site to generate a sample ballot and check your voter registration. (And if you're not registered, don't freak out. Illinois offers same-day voter registration, which you can complete at your polling place as long as you bring two eligible forms of ID.)
If you can't make it to your designated polling site, head to the city's Super Sites located in the Loop (191 N Clark St) or the United Center (1901 W Madison St), where any Chicago resident can cast a vote or present ID for same-day voter registration from 6am–7pm. And don't forget to wear a mask!
