Paul Vallas’ war room expects Tuesday’s mayoral runoff to be so close, the winner may not be known until days after the election, when most of the mail-in ballots are counted.

"There’s a good chance on election night it will be too close to call," Vallas’ campaign manager Brian Towne said Wednesday.

Every ballot returned by 7 p.m. Monday will be counted on election night. The rest will have to wait. Technically, the Chicago Board of Elections has until April 18 to count all vote-by-mail ballots postmarked by 7 p.m. on election night. Mayoral candidates Brandon Johnson and Paul Vallas shake hands before a mayoral debate in Chicago, on March 21, 2023.

Trippi expects the race to be determined by the 10% of undecided voters — many of them older, "moderate-to-conservative" African Americans — who are "wrestling" with two questions: Is Paul Vallas "not a Democrat," and does Brandon Johnson "really have a goal of defunding the police?" Their trump card could be a 2,000-strong get-out-the-vote army, including many members of the Chicago Teachers Union, SEIU Locals 1 and 73, SEIU Healthcare and AFSCME Council 31. Vallas hopes to match that with help from the 26 unions that have endorsed him.
