Early voting numbers are trending up in Illinois before the state’s primary elections on Tuesday.
Illinois State Board of Elections Public Information Officer Matt Dietrich told The Center Square on Friday that about 250,000 early votes had been cast, slightly higher than the state reported before the 2022 midterm.
Dietrich said he is seeing a strong response on vote by mail.
The Chicago Board of Elections reported more than 123,000 ballots received as of Thursday night, up from under 71,000 five days before the 2022 primary.
Dietrich said early voting continues through Monday.
Hours and locations are available at the State Board of Elections website.
