Mail-In Ballots
A statement from Cook County Clerk Karen Yarbrough regarding mail in ballots:

To any voters who have requested Mail Ballots,
 
The Illinois Secretary of State recently sent a letter to registered voters that may be causing confusion for those who have already requested mail ballots from the Cook County Clerk's Office. This letter stated that the voter had not yet applied for a mail ballot, but that is inaccurate information for those individuals who have, in fact, requested a mail ballot from the Cook County Clerk. 
 
If you have requested a mail ballot from the Cook County Clerk, there is no need for further action on your part. Our office is currently processing these applications and will begin mailing ballots to voters beginning September 24. 
 
To check on the status of your mail ballot, please visit www.cookcountyclerk.com/VoterInfo and click the “What Is My Mail Ballot Status” tab.
 
To apply for a mail ballot use our online mail ballot application at: www.cookcountyclerk.com/VoteByMail.
CDC: COVID-19 Holiday Celebration Information

As many people in the United States begin to plan for fall and winter holiday celebrations, CDC offers some considerations to help protect individuals, their families, friends, and communities from COVID-19. These considerations are meant to supplement not replace any state, local, territorial, or tribal health and safety laws, rules, and regulations with which holiday gatherings must comply. When planning to host a holiday celebration, you should assess current COVID-19 levels in your community to determine whether to postpone, cancel, or limit the number of attendees.
