Chicago voters have two ways to cast ballots:

-1- the paper ballot that the voter inserts in the ballot scanner (used on Election Day and for Vote By Mail), and,

-2- the touchscreen that prints out a paper ballot that the voter inserts in a ballot scanner (used on Election Day and during Early Voting).

Click here for instructions on using both balloting systems.

Both balloting systems provide verifiable paper trails for all ballots cast.
