Can anyone explain to me why Chicago is having an election in the middle of winter? It’s not a special election I presume if the current mayor is on the ballot.
I used to live in Chicago.
This is a regularly scheduled election. This is the primary election. A runoff, if needed, will be held in early April.
They have the local elections in February and April of odd numbered years, so as not to have local election campaigns get tossed in with national or state elections.
