Monday is officially the last day of early voting in Illinois ahead of the Election Day for 2024 — and in many parts of the region, its the busiest.

“Monday is generally our busiest early voting days,” said Chicago Board of Elections’ Max Bever.

Sunday, long lines wrapped around Chicago’s Voting Supersite at 191 North Clark Street. Similar turnout was expected Monday, Bever said.

According to Bever, approximately 40,000 people typically come out to vote early the day before Election Day, with the CBOE expecting to see “similar numbers this year.”

Chicago officials noted that two-hour wait times could be expected for early voting sites on the northside and near the lake front Monday, as those locations have easier access to public transit.

Shorter lines were expected on the west side, the CBOE said.

As Election Day — that’s Tuesday, Nov. 5 — approaches, here’s what to know about early voting Monday.

First responders in Illinois saved a man’s life on Sunday after he was pinned in a creek underneath a tractor for possibly over 30 minutes.

The Woodstock Fire/Rescue District said 10 units responded to a water rescue in the 3200 block of N. Route 47 at around 3:01 p.m. on Sunday.

It was reported that a man was trapped under a tractor after a bridge collapsed on the property, which was in unincorporated Woodstock.

The first unit arrived at the scene within four minutes, according to the department. The man was found at the rear of the property partially submerged in the creek, but conscious.

“It is believed that he had been trapped for over 30 minutes before first responders arrived,” Woodstock Fire/Rescue wrote on Facebook.

Firefighters were able to lift the tractor off the man, and he was taken to an awaiting ambulance, which took him to a landing zone for a medical helicopter to transport him to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville. 

The man, who was not identified, was seriously injured by the collapse and entrapment. He also had severe hypothermia from the water exposure, the department said.

The tractor was removed from the creek at around 6 p.m., according to the department, and crews completed the cleanup shortly after.

As voters head to the polls on Election Day, some schools will still be in session. However, most students at Illinois public schools will have the day off.

Election Day is an official state holiday for the 2024 election season, under provisions of an amendment to Illinois’ school code. As a result, children in K-12 public schools will not be required to attend classes.

The law also states that any school that doesn’t have instruction on Election Day can be used by local authorities as a polling place.

In addition to public schools, courthouses and other local and state government facilities, including Secretary of State’s Driver’s Services facilities, will also be closed on Election Day.

Private schools are not included in the terms of the legislation, meaning that students in those institutions may still have class on Tuesday. Universities are also not included, with students in the University of Illinois system still having classes on Election Day.

Efforts have arisen in the past to make Election Day a federal holiday, but they have not been successful thus far. As a result, many banks, federal facilities including courthouses, and most businesses will be open on Tuesday, according to officials.
