Get the 411 before you vote Tuesday

Time to vote. Polling places in the City of Chicago will be open on Election Day, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m, on Feb. 22.

Make sure you have the documentation you need to do your civic duty. There are several situations when voters need to show identification before voting.

You will need ID to vote if…

• If you are a new voter
• If you are an “inactive voter” (also known as a “challenged voter”)

You should know…
• Voters who have registered very recently should ask the judges of election to check the “supplemental” poll list.
• If you registered and your name does not show up on the precinct poll sheet at your polling place, ask the judges to check the “supplemental” poll list. 
• If you don’t have ID, you may cast a “provisional” ballot.
• If a provisional ballot is cast in the correct precinct, voters have two days after the election to deliver documentation and/or ID to show that their registrations were valid in that precinct so that their provisional ballots may be counted. That proof must be delivered to or presented at the Chicago Election Board offices at 69 W. Washington St., on the sixth floor.
• A voter needs two forms of ID, at least one of which must show the address of the registration.

To see full details on ID issues, including acceptable ID forms, visit chicagoelections.com.
