Absentee Voting
Absentee voting is a convenient way of casting a ballot if you’re unable to make it to your polling place on Election Day. The most common method of voting absentee is by mail, but you may also cast ballots in person at your local village or township hall.
To vote absentee, you must, by law, have a reason why you cannot make it to your polling place on Election Day. In most cases, voters vote absentee if they will be out of town during the election or if they are physically disabled.
However, Illinois voters may take part in Early Voting, which allows voters to vote before the election without having a reason or excuse. Those early voters must vote in person (not by mail) at a designated early voting site.
