Election 2023
Together, we can win a Chicago for the many.
Ways to Vote
Early Voting
Early voting begins March 20 in all 50 wards and runs through election day April 4. Find your nearest site on this Google map of the 51 early voting sites that we made. You can vote at any early voting site, not just the one in your ward. You can get more information about early voting on the Chicago Board of Elections site.
Mail-In Ballots
Up until Thursday, March 30, you can request a Vote By Mail ballot that can be mailed in or securely dropped off at any voting site. Mail-in ballots are the most convenient way to cast your vote for Brandon Johnson and our endorsed candidates. You don’t have to wait in line, just sit at your own kitchen table and complete the ballot.
Election Day
On Tuesday, April 4 more than 1,200 polling places will open from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. across the city for voters to cast ballots in their own neighborhood. In addition, even on Election Day any voter can go to any Early Voting Site anywhere in the city to cast their ballot. Click the button below to get your personal voting information.
