WHEATON, IL – DuPage County Clerk Jean Kaczmarek announces “22 for ‘22” —  22 Early Voting locations for the 2022 General Election will open in DuPage County starting Monday, Oct. 24. The number of locations was increased 100 percent from the 11 locations in 2018 to include areas that had previously been underserved by Early Voting.

“Early Voting was the most popular choice of voters in the 2020 General Election in the county. We’re ready for voters,” Kaczmarek says. “We’re providing optimum voter access in DuPage, including Vote-by-Mail, Permanent Vote-by-Mail, more Early Voting locations, and 269 polling places on Election Day, Nov. 8, with the option to vote anywhere.”

Kaczmarek adds, “Another significant change is that for the first General Election since Early Voting began in 2006, ballots will be 100 percent paper in DuPage County.”

As part of the “Vote Anywhere” initiative, DuPage County voters may cast ballots at any Early Voting location, as well as any Election Day polling place.
