Early voting for March 19 primary to resume in Chicago after court order

CHICAGO - Early voting for the March 19 primary in Chicago will resume on Wednesday after facing a delay following a court order from the Appellate Court of Illinois.

The order led to the suspension of early voting at the downtown supersite located at 191 N. Clark and the Board Offices at 69 W. Washington.

The court order required the removal of a candidate's name from the ballot, Ashonta C. Rice, a candidate for Judge of the Circuit Court on the Democratic Party ballot. In compliance with the court order, the Chicago Board of Elections had to reprogram all early voting touchscreen machines to reflect the removal of Rice.

Democratic Vote By Mail ballots for the primary election have not yet been sent out to Chicago voters but will be as soon as possible.
