Avoiding the polls and mailing in your November ballot is proving to be a popular option, with over 1 million ballots being requested so far, says State Board of Elections Spokesperson Matt Dietrich.
It’s almost certain that Illinois will set a new record this year, says Dietrich.
Under a new state law, applications for mail-in ballots were sent to all recent voters. You can also request a ballot at elections.il.gov. Ballots will be mailed out in late September.
