Election Day is also a holiday. Here’s what is open and closed around Illinois

While not recognized as one federally, Election Day is a holiday in Illinois. As a result, state offices — including the Illinois Secretary of State Driver Services facilities — along with public schools will be closed on Tuesday.

Carl Sandburg College and Knox College will be open Tuesday.

There is mail delivery on Election Day and banks will be open.

Gov. JB Pritzker signed a bill in June 2021 establishing the holiday. Nineteen states have some form of Election Day holiday.
