Dozens of new early voting sites are opening Monday across the Chicago area as Illinois prepares for Election Day on Nov. 8. Sandra Torres has more.
As Election Day inches closer, you may be hoping to cast your ballot on Tuesday, but can't remember if you've already registered to vote.
Luckily, in Illinois, it's pretty easy to find out. All you have to do is head to the Illinois State Board of Elections website to check your voter registration status. If it reveals you haven't registered to vote this time around, there's no need to worry.
In Illinois, you can still register in person at your local precinct on Election Day. Make sure to bring two forms of identification, with at least one of them showing your current address, according to elections officials. Acceptable forms of identification include a driver's license, utility bill, bank statement and paycheck.
Deadlines to register by mail and online have passed for the upcoming election, so registering in person is your only option if you want to vote on Tuesday.
