Early voting allows voters to cast a full ballot before the observed election
day.
Although voters can still go to their polling place on Election Day, this is
intended to make voting easier for everyone. This cuts down on lines at the
polling place as well as allowing voters to vote when it fits their schedule.
The early voting period begins 22 days prior to the election and continues through the 5th day preceeding an election.
Early voting is conducted at assigned locations throughout Kane County. You may
go to any one of these assigned locations to vote early. Early voting is NOT
conducted at your usual polling place. Polling places will only be open for
voting on the observed Election Day. Click here
for exact dates, times, and locations for early voting.
Early Voting and Absentee Voting are not the same thing. With early voting, you
may vote without an excuse. With absentee voting, you need a reason why you
cannot make it to your polling place on election day. Also, you may not be
mailed a ballot to vote early. You may only be mailed an absentee ballot.
The ballot is the same whether voting absentee, early or at the polling place on
election day.
