Jim Allen, spokesman for the Chicago Board of Elections, says voters can use any of 51 early voting sites.

They're all open Monday through Saturday from the 31st through the 17th of February. And some are open every day of the week - even Lincoln's Birthday, Friday, February 11.

"Once they cast their ballot, we want to caution them that they cannot return, undo or change that ballot for any reason. So if there are any changes in ballots between now and February 17, we want to emphasize that there are no do-overs."

And people in seven wards might pay special attention to that.

In four wards, aldermanic candidates have gone to court to attempt to get back on the ballot: Those wards are the 7th, 13th, 16th and the 46th.

And in three wards, aldermanic candidates on the ballot are still being challenged in the courts: Those wards are the 12th, 21st and the 43rd.
