Early Voting for March 17th Primary underway for most of the state

Early voting for the March 17th primary election is now underway in most Illinois counties.

Illinois has a 40-day early voting period.

State Board of Elections Public Information Officer Matt Dietrich said there were many objections to candidates who filed last October.

Pike County Clerk/Recorder Natalie Roseberry said it is challenging to have court cases pending when ballots are already printed.

Voting hours and locations can be found at the Illinois State Board of Elections website.
