Early Voting Open: Take Advantage of It!

Early Voting is now open for the third election in Illinois voting.  The city has chosen to open an early voting site in every ward this election.  One can only hope that they will continue to have one per ward for all of the future elections.  Until now the closest early voting site was well out of the ward at Warren Park on 6601 N. Western. 

While it is the job of the Democratic Committeeman to win voters into the Democratic camp, this election for Alderman and Mayor as well as City Clerk and City Treasurer is a non-partisan election.

Two of the candidates say they are Democrats on their campaign signs and while the other two stretch the boundaries of being a good Democrat on some issues, I think it reasonable to assume they are Democrats as well.  The party has not taken a stance in local non-partisan elections again this year, but we would urge you to look at the candidates and see which one is the best Democrat for you.

Personally, I am supporting Joe Moore.  He represents many of the parties most important and closely held beliefs as is demonstrated by his work.

Early Voting Sites are as follows:

6601 N. Western,  Warren Park Field House
7340 N. Rogers,    Pottawatomie Park Field House
1210 W. Elmdale, Edgewater Branch, Chicago Public Library
For Other Sites Across Chicago, (you can vote at any of them)

The locations are open from 9:00am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday and 9:00am to 12:00 Noon on Saturday and Sunday.  Early voting starts today, (02/05/07), and ends on February 22, 2007.  You do not need to declare a reason for wanting to early vote.  It is your right under Illinois law to do so.
