In Chicago, the final count for the 2023 results shows continuing popularity of early and mail voting. In this year’s runoff only 43% of voters cast their ballot in person on April 4, while 30% voted early in-person and 26.3% voted by mail, officials said. Total vote tabulation takes this long, in part, because of the time it can take for mail ballots to return to the board. Nearly 54,000 mail ballots, which had to be postmarked by Election Day to be counted, continued to trickle in between April 4 and the April 18 deadline, according to the board.
