CHICAGO – Chicago residents will head to the polls on Nov. 5 to vote in the 2024 general election.

Neighbors will vote for presidential and prosecutor candidates, among others.

Here's what you need to know:

1. Check your registration: To vote you must be registered. You can check online whether you are registered.

2. Same day registration: You can still register and then vote immediately on Election Day. You will need to do this at your local polling place (you can check where that is located here) and you will need to bring two pieces of ID, including one with your current address.

How to vote

Once you've reviewed your voter registration information and made sure it's accurate, you're ready to get started. There are several ways to vote in Chicago:

• Voting by letter: Chicagoans can vote by mail — and you don't need a reason to use the process.

Once you receive your ballot, you can fill it out and mail it back to the city, deliver it in person to the Board of Elections, leave it in a mailbox, or have it delivered via a licensed service such as FedEX, UPS or DHL.

The ballot must be mailed by November 5th at the latest.

• Early voting: Early voting continues through November 4th, but you can still vote on Election Day at most early voting sites.
