It's called "early voting".

This is from the City of Chicago's website:

All 51 locations will be open Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Three locations (the Board's offices at 69 W. Washington, Welles Park and Mount Greenwood Park) will be open Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and also will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays.
