February 5th Update

Dear Friend,

Early Voting will begin in all 50 Wards for the Primary Election on March 2nd and run through March 17th (Election Day). The 38th Ward Early Voting site is located at Hiawatha Park, 8029 W Forest Preserve. Another nearby Early Voting site is the West Belmont Library at 3104 N Narragansett.

Early Voting will be open weekdays 9am to 6pm, Saturdays 9am to 5pm, Sundays 10am to 4pm and on Election Day 6am to 7pm. Please note that any voter in Chicago can vote at any Early Voting site, no matter where they live in the City. Voters can choose whatever site is most convenient for them, including on Election Day.

The 38th Ward Service Office will be closed Thursday, February 12th in observance of Abraham Lincoln's birthday. We will reopen Friday, February 13th at 9:00am. While City of Chicago offices will be closed, 311 will remain open for non-emergencies and garbage pickup will remain unaffected.

Sincerely,

Alderman Nicholas Sposato
