May 19 was the start of voting for the June 28 primary for early in-person voting and for those who’ve requested mail-in ballots.
Illinois citizens who want their voices heard in the community can take the first step by voting early in the June 28 primary election.
Polls opened May 19 for in-person early voting and for mail-in voting for the primary. Primaries are key to rooting out corruption by creating the competition that holds incumbents accountable by ensuring voters have choices.
What is early voting?
Registered voters can go to their election authority or early voting site and vote early for any reason from May 19 until June 27, the day before the primary election.
