Unregistered voters must report ONLY to the polling place assigned to his or her precinct if choosing to cast a ballot today.
When You Need ID - This page lays out all times a voter may need identification. Digital forms of identification, such as a picture of a current utility bill on a smartphone, will meet identification requirements.

A reminder, please DO NOT use this thread for campaigning or electioneering. /r/Chicago users here have always been good at responding accordingly. We'll be answering any questions or concerns throughout the day. You can also reach us on @ChicagoElection on Twitter.
A final reminder: if the first 12 hours and 59 minutes were not enough, never fear. As long as you are in line by 7:00 PM, you MUST be allowed to vote.

(11,137 posts)1. I was given two ballots. I returned one to the front before I entered it.
Also, people voting next to me were actively discussing candidates and how to mark their ballots.
Neither has ever happened to me before. If it been a non-primary election, I might have said something about the voter discussions.
