What do you need to Early Vote in Cook County?

According to Cook County Clerk David Orr:

Voters do not need to provide an excuse or reason why they cannot vote on Election Day.
Government-issued photo ID is not required but is helpful if there is a question about the voter’s registration, address or signature. Providing an ID can also speed up the process because there will be ID card readers at every check-in station.

Still need to register to vote?

You can register to vote at all early vote sites according to the Cook County Clerk’s website. NOTE: Any voter who needs to register for the first time or file an address change must present two forms of ID, one of which shows the voter’s current address.

More information on Early Voting is here at the Cook County Clerk’s website.
