(1) For Chicago Voters
New Accessible option for Vote By Mail
Chicago voters with accessibility issues may apply using THIS APPLICATION at https://app.chicagoelections.com/documents/general/G2020-Form-500-Accessible.pdf and submit the application by email at fpca at chicagoelections.gov or by fax at 312-269-0626.

This new program allows voters, who have accessibility issues that do not allow the voters to read and mark their ballots privately and independently, to access and mark their ballots through an online system – and then print out their ballots and mail in those ballots. For more information on this program, write to fpca at chicagoelectionsgov <mailto:fpca at chicagoelections.gov>    Please note: This is not an online voting system. The ballots in this program must be printed out and mailed to the Election Board or delivered in a Ballot Return Envelope to a Secured Drop Box at any Early Voting site.

Apply by early October to ensure enough time to receive and return your ballot by Election Day. (The legal deadline to apply is 5 p.m. on Oct. 29, but the Board strongly recommends applying sooner.)
