Voters Flood Chicago Board Of Elections
CHICAGO (CBS) ―
So many people were coming to register to vote in Cook County Monday that the elevators at the George W. Dunne Cook County Office Building couldn't handle the foot traffic.
Voters may register in Illinois only through 11:59 p.m. Tuesday night, and already, officials at the Chicago Board of Elections say they have broken final-week records set in the 2008 primary.
The offices for voter registration are on the sixth floor of the Dunne Cook County Office Building at 69 W. Washington St., but the elevators could no longer handle the traffic, so the board set up tables on the ground floor, according to spokesman James Allen.
The Chicago Election Board will be open Monday from 8 a.m.- 8 p.m. and Tuesday from 8 a.m.- 12 a.m.
Suburban Cook County voters who have yet to register may also go to the Dunne Cook County Office Building, Suite 500. Suburban voters may also go to:
--The Skokie Courthouse, 5600 W. Old Orchard Rd., Skokie, Room 149
--The Rolling Meadows Courthouse, 2121 Euclid Ave., Room 238
--The Maybrook Courthouse in Maywood, 1311 Maybrook Sq., Room 109
--The Markham Courthouse, 16501 S. Kedzie Pkwy., Room 238
--The Bridgeview Courthouse, 10220 S. 76th Ave., Room 238.
