Welcome to the first-ever What to Expect When You’re Expecting to Vote (WTEWYETV) guide! This is an effort to share information about the in-person voting process in Chicago, with the goal of demystifying the actual steps required to cast a ballot. This guide is only relevant for voters within the city of Chicago for the March 17 primary, does not include the voting-by-mail process, and is primarily based on poll worker training materials from the Chicago Board of Elections (CBOE).

If you have any questions before Election Day, you can email the Chicago Board of Elections at cboe@chicagoelections.net, or call 1–312–269–7858 (TTY 1–312–269–0027, again only for hearing impaired folks).  v
