BLOOMINGTON – Early voting for the November 8 election is underway across the state of Illinois.
Here in McLean County, early voting is being offered for all residents at Eastland Mall.
Bloomington residents can also early vote at the Bloomington Election Commission office at 121 N. Main Street in Downtown Bloomington.
All other McLean County residents have another early voting option at the Government Center in Downtown Bloomington.
McLean County Clerk Kathy Michael says vote-by-mail ballots are also being sent out this week to those who requested one.
“We’ve had nearly 4,000 requests for vote-by-mail ballots,” Michael told WJBC. “We expect probably five or six thousand before this is over with. Now, in the June primary, as an example, we only had 1,300 requests. So the vote-by-mail is picking up.”
