FILE - In this March 17, 2020, file photo, hand sanitizer and stickers are set up at a polling station in Chicago. Election Day voters, whose numbers have waned in recent years because of expanded options for casting ballots, likely will be reduced even further this year with a surge in vote-by-mail popularity during a pandemic.

Legislation adopted last spring ensured widespread publicity for the practice because of the coronavirus outbreak. ( James Foster/Chicago Sun-Times via AP, File)
