Early Voting Bartlett IL: Sites & Hours Oct 19–Nov 2

By Bartlett Guide · Published October 16, 2026

Here's the quirk that trips people up: Bartlett spans three counties — Cook, DuPage, and Kane. There is no single "early voting Bartlett IL" location. Your ballot only exists at sites run by your county's election authority, and the wrong county's site will turn you away even if it is five minutes from your house. Step one is knowing your county; step two is picking your site. Every date, address, and hour below was checked against the county clerks' published schedules on October 16, 2026.

Step one: which county are you in?

Most of Bartlett sits in DuPage County, with the Cook County portion on the east side (Hanover Township) and Kane County on the west. Unsure? Check your registration on the Illinois State Board of Elections site — it lists your county.

DuPage County voters: Bartlett Community Center

If you are a DuPage County voter, the closest site is right in town. DuPage has run five early voting sites since September 24, including the Bartlett Community Center, 700 S. Bartlett Rd (Program Room 5). Through October 18 they are open weekdays 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. and Saturdays 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.

Starting Monday, October 19, DuPage expands to permanent sites — Bartlett Community Center stays open, and all locations move to daily hours: weekdays 8:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m., weekends 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., through Election Day. Two nearby alternates in the same county: Roselle Public Library (40 S. Park St) and Stratford Square Mall (152 Stratford Square, Bloomingdale). All DuPage sites are ADA-compliant, and you can register to vote at an early voting site if you bring ID. Bonus local note: the Bartlett Public Library at 800 S. Bartlett Rd is listed as a DuPage voter registration location.

Cook County voters: Streamwood is your nearest site

Bartlett's Cook County precincts belong to the Cook County Clerk's system — and the closest expanded early voting site is the Streamwood Community Development Garage, 351 E. Irving Park Rd (behind Streamwood Village Hall), which the Village of Streamwood confirms is an early voting site with hours and dates set by the Cook County Clerk. The county's published site list shows it starting October 19, alongside Hoffman Estates Village Hall (1900 Hassell Rd) and the Trickster Art Gallery in Schaumburg (190 S. Roselle Ave).

For county-wide hours, host villages publish the official schedule — Arlington Heights lists October 19–November 2: 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. through Saturday October 24, Sunday October 25 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., October 26–30 9:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m., Saturday October 31 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., Sunday November 1 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., and Monday November 2 9:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. as the last day. Confirm on the Cook County Clerk's site before you go — and note the Streamwood garage also holds a mail-ballot drop box during early voting hours only.

Kane County voters: St. Charles and Elgin are closest

Kane County voters get the schedule straight from the Clerk: early voting has run since September 24 at the Clerk's Office (719 S. Batavia Ave, Bldg. B, Geneva) and the Aurora satellite office, weekdays 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Starting Monday, October 19, permanent sites open: October 19–23 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., October 24 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m., October 25 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., October 26–30 8:30 a.m.–7:00 p.m., October 31 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., November 1 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., and November 2 from 8:30 a.m. (to 4:30 p.m. in Geneva, 4:00 p.m. at Branch Court and Aurora).

The closest permanent sites to west Bartlett: Kane County Branch Court, 530 S. Randall Rd, St. Charles; Carpentersville Fire Station No. 93, 5000 Sleepy Hollow Rd; Elgin Township, 729 S. McLean Blvd, Elgin; and Gail Borden Library, 270 N. Grove Ave, Elgin. Kane also runs Vote Mobile locations, including a Jewel-Osco in St. Charles on October 26.

Key dates to keep straight

• Saturday, October 18 — last day for online voter registration.
• Monday, October 19 — expanded early voting begins in Cook and Kane; DuPage sites go daily with evening hours.
• Thursday, October 29 — deadline for your mail-ballot application to reach the election authority.
• Monday, November 2 — last day of early voting.
• Tuesday, November 3 — Election Day; polls open 6:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. Mail ballots must be postmarked by this day.

Missed the regular registration deadline? Grace-period registration is available at county election offices — you register and vote at the same time.

Practical tips

• Vote in your county — not your neighbor's. This is the single most common Bartlett mistake. DuPage voters use DuPage sites, Cook voters use Cook sites, Kane voters use Kane sites.
• Weekday evenings get longer after October 26. DuPage and Kane both run evening hours (until 7:00 p.m.) in the final stretch; Cook sites run 9:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. October 26–30 too.
• Make it a Bartlett errand run. Voting at the Community Center pairs nicely with dinner downtown — see our cheap dinner under $15 guide or the lunch under $10 list.
