With only a few days left before the primary election Tuesday, city election officials say early voting has been lagging and are urging Chicagoans to make sure their votes are counted.

Max Bever, a spokesman for the Chicago Board of Elections, said city residents had cast only 25,215 early-vote ballots as of Thursday. That’s down from 51,125 around the same point in 2018 and 36,113 in 2014, the last two years there were primary elections in governor’s races.
