CHICAGO — The presidential election may not be until November, but you can already cast a vote for Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump — or anyone else running this fall.

Early voting began Sept. 29 Downtown, and will soon spread to every ward in the city.

City residents can vote now in the lower level of the Cook County building at 69 W. Washington St., according to the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners.

That site will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays, the board said in a press release. Ballots can be cast at the site through Nov. 7.

On Monday, a second early voting space will open at 15 W. Washington St. That space has been dubbed a "super site" and can hold three times as many voting machines as the other site on Washington Street, the board said.

The "super site" will be open through Oct. 23. It will be open the same hours as the other site.

Those wishing to register to vote can do so at either location. Voters can also file a name change or change of address at either location, the board said.

On Oct. 24, an early voting location in each ward will be opened. Each of those sites will offer registration services, the board said.
