While over 500,000 Chicagoans have just finished casting their ballots for the first round of the 2023 municipal elections, it’s already almost time to head back to the polls.

Mail-in application voting is now available for the April 4 runoff election, with advance voting slated to begin March 20.

Chicago voters interested in voting by mail for the upcoming election can apply for a mail-in ballot here.

City officials noted that unless a voter is on the permanent voting list, they will have to reapply to receive a mail-in ballot for the runoff election, even if they had previously voted by mail in the first round.

Voters may request that their ballot be mailed out of town or out of state, and may choose to receive a ballot in the following languages:

• English
• Spanish
• Chinese
• Hindi
• Brush
• Korean
• Tagalog

Postal ballots must be postmarked on or before election day, April 4, for a vote to be counted.

Voters also have the option of returning their ballots to a secure drop box at one of the city’s earliest voting locations or polling stations.

Although subject to change, the earliest date voters are expected to receive their ballots is March 17, according to city officials.

Voters can continue to submit vote-by-mail applications until March 30, which is the last day the city’s board of elections can receive new applications.

Postal ballots (postmarked on or before election day) can still be received by the electoral board until April 18, the last day on which ballots received can be included in the final count.

Mail-in voters who decide not to return their postal ballot may submit the ballot to the judges of their appropriate precinct before casting an in-person ballot.

If the postal ballot was lost or did not arrive, a voter can sign an affidavit and vote at the appropriate polling station for their home address.

In addition, early voting in all 50 wards and the two super locations in the center will open at 9 a.m. on March 20, and all locations remain open to voters throughout Election Day.

The opening hours for the city’s polling stations are as follows:

• Weekdays: 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m
• Saturday: 9.00 to 17.00
• Sunday: 10.00 to 16.00
