If someone must be out of town on Election Day, does the state of Illinois allow voting early in person? If yes, how many days before the election can a person vote?

Yes, Illinois allows early voting and absentee voting. For early voting, you have to go to a courthouse or other government building and vote. For absentee, they mail you a ballot. I believe you can vote up to a month or so before the election. Go to your county's board of elections webpage, and it will give you more details.

If you can't make it to the polls on Election Day, you may be qualified to vote absentee. Absentee voting is conducted by mail, and sometimes in person, before Election Day. Contact your local election officials to request an absentee ballot application. (links below)
Some states allow voters to vote early, even if they are able to make it to the polls on Election Day. This practice is often referred to as early voting or no-excuse absentee voting.
