CHICAGO - Polls have officially opened and Election Day is underway in Illinois.

Polling places opened at 6 a.m. after days of long lines for early voting.

This election is headlined by the presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. However, a number of local races will have an impact, including the showdown for the Cook County State's Attorney's Office and the newly introduced Chicago School Board.

Polls will be open in Illinois until 7 p.m. If you are in line at a polling place before 7 p.m., you are guaranteed the right to vote. Polls close at 6 p.m. in Indiana.

Voting locations are open in all 50 wards of Chicago.

Ballots can also be cast at a supersite in downtown Chicago located at 191 N. Clark Street.
