Park Ridge’s early voting site has changed back to the Centennial Activity Center at 100 S. Western. Voting early is a convenient way to get your vote in for this important election. Why wait until Election Day when you will need to go to your precinct to vote? During early voting, you can vote at any early voting site in your election district. Find links to voting sites and hours in our Election Guide. Link in our bio.

Make that mail ballot count! Mail it early or, better yet, bring it to a drop box at an early voting site in your election district. And remember, if you're dropping a ballot off for a family member, they need to sign their envelope on the front and you both need to sign it under "Ballot Delivery Authorization" on the back. Find links to drop box locations and resources to help you plan your vote in our Election Guide. Link in our bio.

Don’t make the mistake of going to the wrong early voting or drop box site. Check ahead! You can go to any site within YOUR election district, but remember, Suburban Cook County residents are in the Cook County Clerk’s election district and Chicago residents are in the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners district. Find direct links to early voting sites and drop box locations for both districts in our Election Guide. Link in our bio.

🎬 OTIS’ DREAM: VOTING MATTERED THEN. VOTING MATTERS NOW.

The Cook County Clerk’s Office invites you to a FREE virtual screening of Otis’ Dream, the powerful true story of Otis Moss Sr. and his determination to exercise his right to vote in Georgia in 1946 despite the barriers of voter suppression.

Following the screening, Cook County Clerk Monica Gordon will join representatives from Cook, DuPage, and Will Counties for an important panel discussion on voting rights, voter education, and civic engagement.

As we approach the November 3 General Election, this timely conversation reminds us of the importance of protecting voting rights, staying informed, and making every voice count.
