Illinois early voting slow, boost from COVID-19 fears possible – WGN (Chicago)

Early and Election Day voting places are stocked with hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes, according to a spokesman for the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners. Paper ballots are also available on Election Day, so voters need not interact with touch-screen voting. Voters who want to avoid going to any public place whatsoever have until March 12 to request a vote-by-mail application.
