CHICAGO (WLS) -- Tuesday, April 4 is Election Day in Chicago and the last day to postmark Vote By Mail ballots, according to the Chicago Board of Elections.
Putting your sealed ballot into a mailbox does not always mean that it will be postmarked on time, so the Chicago Board of Elections recommends voters go to a post office to hand in their ballot on or before Tuesday. Voters can also turn in their ballots at a Secure Dropbox before 7 p.m. on Tuesday for their Vote By Mail ballot to be counted.
