On Wed., June 22, 2022, DuPage County passed the total number for Early Voting in the 2014 Primary Election of 11,157.

A significant change with Early Voting in this election is that ballots are 100 percent paper in DuPage County with the new print-on-demand voting system.

Mail ballot applications for this election totaled 34,650 by June 23 – more than six times the 5,453 applications for 2018. Mail ballot applications for this election moved into third place in DuPage County history behind the November 2020 and 2018 General Elections.

As of June 23, 15,333 mail ballots had been returned.

The DuPage County Clerk’s office urges voters who have received mail ballots to complete them and return them right away.

And did you recall when voting changes were enacted in Illinois in this millennium?

In 2005 Illinois adopted early-voting measures to allow residents to cast their ballots ahead of Election Day.

In 2009 Illinois adopted no-excuse absentee voting that allows any resident to request a ballot via mail.
