Early voting is set to begin for Chicago’s municipal election, including the mayor’s race.

Early voting starts Monday at 51 locations in Chicago. The Chicago Board of Election Commissioners says each site also will offer voter registration. The election is Feb. 24.

Sites will be open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Five sites will be open on Sunday, Feb. 15 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Voters need a government-issued photo ID to cast a ballot. Voters can use any site in the city regardless of their address.

Election board officials say voters who need to change their name or address or those registering to vote for the first time need to have two forms of ID. At least one must have the voter’s current address.
