On Election Day, Chicago voters must go to their assigned precinct polling place or to any of the 51 sites open as a ward vote center. Locations will be open from 6 a.m.-7 p.m.

Select ward and precinct voting locations will have assigned bilingual poll workers and paper ballots in Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Korean, Tagalog and Polish, according to the Chicago Board of Elections.

Additionally, every precinct polling place in the city will have a touchscreen voting machine and audio ballot in 12 languages: English, Spanish, Chinese (audio in Mandarin dialect), Hindi, Korean, Tagalog, Polish, Gujarati, Urdu, Ukrainian, Arabic and Russian.

Voters can look up their voter information at chicagoelections.gov to verify their registration and locate their precinct polling place for Election Day. Voters can also view a sample ballot in Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Korean, Tagalog and Polish.

Voters who need language assistance can bring an interpreter to help them understand and cast a ballot. Voters can choose who they want to help them, but the person cannot be the voter’s employer or labor union representative, election officials said.
