Chicago voters were determined to vote this weekend, no matter how long it took.

“So we decided to go back to Lincoln Park this morning and the line was also three and a half hours before the booth opened,” early voter Zack Cylinder said.

Cylinder and his wife eventually made their way to the Loop supersite, where the wait for early voters was about 20 minutes.

“We just need our lives back. We need our rights back. My youngest is in the LGBTQ community. It’s just too much. You can’t live in fear every day. I would sit here for days if I would have a,” said early voter Courtney Ward.

Whether it was a sense of anxiety over the outcome of the presidential election or a specific issue, many people were determined to make their voices heard.

“I feel like Roe v. Wade was an attack on women,” said early voter Aschira White.

“I believe that every person deserves to be treated as a human being and that those rights are accessible to them, so I vote accordingly,” said Sebastian Klein, another early voter.

And while polls across the city remained busy, there were also efforts to make sure Chicagoans cast their votes for Cook County state’s attorney, congressional races, as well as the first elected school board in Chicago.

“We’re going to have people to make sure we invest in our public school system,” said Ward 26 Councilwoman Jessie Fuentes. “It doesn’t matter the color of your skin or the zip code you live in; you deserve a world-class education.”

Mail-in ballots must be postmarked by November 5, Election Day, to be counted.

There are long lines at some early voting locations, but believe it or not, the busiest day is expected to be Monday.
