CHICAGO — Early voting for the Nov. 5 General Election opens Monday morning throughout the city and expands to more locations around Chicagoland.

Same-day registration is also available at all of Chicago's early voting locations. Those wishing to register will need two forms of ID, one with a current address. All early voting locations are ADA-compliant and fully accessible to voters with disabilities.

Early voting locations will remain open through Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
