The city of Chicago set a new record for early ballots cast in a single day, as voters headed to the polls with the possibility of severe weather looming on Election Day.
According to an update from the Chicago Board of Elections, more than 30,000 ballots were cast at early-voting sites on Monday, setting a new single-day record for the city.
Officials had hoped that more mail-in ballots would be submitted in the days before the election to avoid a lengthy counting process, but as of Monday night, 91,838 mail-in ballots have yet to be returned, meaning that the results of some elections could be somewhat delayed as the wait begins for those votes to arrive.Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters.
