Voting starts today in the runoff contests for Chicago mayor and 14 City Council seats. If the second round of voting is anything like the first, more than half of all votes could be cast well before Election Day.
In both elections, approximately 23% of all votes were cast in person before Election Day, according to election data.
That means less than 48% of all votes were cast on Election Day, giving Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson and Paul Vallas, the top two finishers in the Feb. 28 mayoral contest, an incentive to get their supporters to the polls early — but not often. More than 35.8% of Chicago voters cast a ballot in that election, slightly more than in 2019, results show.
All Chicagoans can cast their votes at the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners supersite at 191 N. Clark St. and the board’s office at 69 W. Washington St., 6th floor.
