Just two weeks out from the Feb. 28 municipal election, 11,728 people had voted early at in-person sites by the end of Monday — the first day early voting sites were open in all 50 wards.  

The number of ballots cast early so far this year is nearly double the number cast 15 days out from Election Day in 2019 and slightly more than double the number of ballots cast early 15 days out from Election Day in 2015, according to information from the Chicago Board of Elections.
