CHICAGO — Starting on Monday, residents of the Far Northwest Side won't have to trek downtown to cast early ballots.
A polling station will open in each of the city's 50 wards on Oct. 24, and registration services will be available at all of them, officials said. Residents can register on any day before — and including — Election Day.

Voters can show up any time from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday, at these locations in the 38th, 39th, 41st and 45th wards:
• Hiawatha Park, 8029 W. Forest Preserve Ave.
• North Park Village Administration Building, 5801 N. Pulaski Road
• Roden Library, 6083 N. Northwest Hwy.
• Chicago Police Department Jefferson Park Police District Headquarters, 5151 N. Milwaukee Ave.
The polling places will also be open on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., officials said. Starting Oct. 31, they'll stay open until 7 p.m. on weekdays.
For anyone who doesn't want to wait until Monday, early voting has been underway at a polling "super site" in the Loop for weeks.

Voters shouldn't feel the need to report to their own ward's polling place: Chicago residents can cast their ballots at any official polling place inside the city.
Government-issued photo ID is "not required but is helpful if there is a question about the voter's registration, address, signature or if there are two voters with the same or similar names at the same address," according to the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners.
