Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Chicago has held regularly-scheduled popular elections to select the city's mayor ever since it was incorporated as a city in 1837.

Chicago currently holds regularly-scheduled mayoral elections once every four years, in years prior to a presidential election.

Beginning with its 1999 mayoral election, Chicago has utilized a nonpartisan two-round system. Under this system, if no candidate secures an outright majority of the first-round vote a runoff will be held between the top-two finishers. No runoff is held if a candidate has secured an outright majority in the first round. Thus far, only two elections (2015 and 2019) have necessitated a runoff.

Up through its 1995 mayoral election Chicago had formerly utilized a partisan first-past-the-post voting system.

History

Chicago was incorporated as a town in 1833. At that point it was governed by a Board of Trustees who were elected annually at large and elected a President from among themselves. Chicago's incorporation as a city in 1837 eliminated such a model in favor of a Common Council elected from wards and a separate office of Mayor who was elected at large.[1]

From 1838 through 1860, mayoral elections were held on the first Tuesday of March.[2] From 1861 through 1867 they were held on the first Monday in April.[2] From 1869 through 1875 they were held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.[3] After 1976, they were held on the first Tuesday of April.[4]

An act passed on March 4, 1837 had required that voters in municipal elections would need to be residents of the wards in which they voted and must be freeholders. An act passed on March 1, 1841 removed the requirement that voters be freeholders.[3] Under the law of 1849-50 requirements were added, mandating (at the time) that voters reside in the town where they voted and must have lived in the state of Illinois for at least a year.[3]

In 1875, the election guidelines outlined in the original city charter were abandoned in favor of those outlined in the Cities and Villages Act of 1872, which changed the date of mayoral elections (mandating that they be scheduled for the last Tuesday in April of odd-numbered years).[4] Ambiguity concerning the effect this would have on the scheduling of the next election led to the April 1876 election that was later considered by the courts to be null and void.[4][3] In addition, the mayoral term length (which up to this point had been one year) was extended by the 1872 Act to two years. Term length was subsequently further extended to four years in 1907.[5]

In time for the 1911 election the Illinois legislature passed a law which scheduled Chicago mayoral party primaries for the last Tuesday of February.[6]

On June 26, 1913 Illinois became the first state east of the Mississippi River to grant women's suffrage.[7] 1915 was the first Chicago mayoral election to be held following this change.[8]

Since 1935, elections to the Chicago City Council (which were extended to four years) have coincided with all regularly-scheduled mayoral elections.[1]

The 1995 election was the final mayoral election to be partisan. Beginning in 1999 elections have taken place on a non-partisan basis, with a system requiring that a candidate obtain a majority of the vote (if no candidate achieves this in the initial vote, a runoff is held between the top-two finishers).[6] Under this new system, the initial round of voting is held on the last Tuesday of February (when party primaries were formerly scheduled),[6] with any runoff taking place in April.[6]

Additionally, the change in election laws that took effect for the 1999 election raised the number of signatures required for candidates to be included on the ballot from 3,000 to 25,000.[9] This requirement, however, was halved to 12,500 before the 2007 election.[9]

Term length

There is not currently, nor has there ever been, a term limit on the mayoralty of Chicago. Terms were originally one year in length before being extended to two years in 1875 by the Cities and Villages Act of 1872.[4][3] Term length was subsequently further extended to four years in 1907.[5]

Years
Term length
1837−1875 1 year
1875−1907 2 years
1907−present 4 years

Current election laws

There are no term limits for Chicago's mayoral office.

Chicago's mayoral elections are currently nonpartisan. A candidate receiving a majority of votes cast will be declared elected. If no candidate receives a majority of the vote, a runoff election will be held between the two candidates who received the highest and second highest number of votes in the first round.[10] The initial round of voting takes place on the last Tuesday of February, and any runoff takes place in April.[6]

Mayoral candidates must be a registered voter who has resided in the City of Chicago for at least one year before the date of the election.[10]

Individuals will be barred from taking office if, at the time required for them to take the oath of office, they are in arrears in the payment of tax or other indebtedness due to the City of Chicago.[10] They will also be unable to take office if they have been convicted in any United States court of any infamous crime, bribery, perjury, or other felony.[10]

A term of office lasts four years, from the third Monday in May until a successor is elected and qualified to assume office.[10]

In order to be included on the ballot candidates must submit 12,500 valid signatures.[10] Signatures cannot be collected more than four months in advance of the submission of a candidate's petition.[10] Individuals are not permitted to sign multiple candidates' petitions, they may sign only a single mayoral candidate's petition.[10][11]

Any candidate may have their petition challenged.[10] Those candidates with properly-filed challenges against their petitions will have their candidature subjected to hearings and procedures which will to assess the validity of their petitions.[10]

If any candidate fails to file a statement of economic interests within five days of having their petition certified, then their certification will be revoked.[10]

Write-in candidates must file a notarized declaration of intent to be a write-in candidate by a deadline.[10][12] An extended deadline to do this is allotted to candidates whose petitions were rejected after this deadline due to the outcome of a challenge.[10]

The order in which the candidates are listed on ballots is determined by the order in which their petitions were received (with those received earlier listed first and those received later being listed last).[10] Lotteries are held to resolve instances in which petitions which were received simultaneously.[10] The ballots of all candidates who were waiting in line to submit their petitions at 9:00 a.m. on the first day for petition filing will be deemed as having simultaneously filed at 9:00 a.m. They will be the first candidates listed, with a lottery being held to determine their order.[10] Similarly, all candidates that filed within the last hour of the filing deadline will be deemed to have filed simultaneously. They will be the last candidates listed, and a lottery will be held to determine their order.[10]

Candidates

Demographics

All but one of the individuals that have been elected mayor of Chicago have been Caucasian (the sole exception being twice-elected African-American mayor Harold Washington).[13] Additionally, all but one of the individuals that have been elected mayor of Chicago have male (the sole exception being Jane Byrne). These will both change following the inauguration of the next mayor in 2019, as the 2019 election is set to elect one of two African American women (Lori Lightfoot and Toni Preckwinkle)

Mallory, Susana Mendoza, and Toni Preckwinkle. The election is now set to elect the city's second female mayor and its first Black Woman as Mayor.

Familial relations

Over the years there have been a number of familial relations between elected mayors, as well as between mayoral candidates.

The Daley family has had a strong presence in Chicago mayoral politics. Richard J. Daley and his son Richard M. Daley both served as mayor. Richard J. Daley's son (and Richard M. Daley's brother) William Daley unsuccessfully ran in the 2019 mayoral election, finishing third in the first round of voting.

Another father-son duo who had both occupied the mayor's office was Carter Harrison Sr. and Carter Harrison Jr.

1955 Republican nominee Robert E. Merriam was the son of 1911 Republican nominee (and unsuccessful 1919 Republican primary candidate) Charles E. Merriam.[36] Both Merriams lost their elections.

1919 candidate Macklay Hoyne was the son of Thomas Hoyne, victor of the voided 1876 election.[37]

The 1891 Chicago mayoral election saw two relatives run against each other. Reform candidate Hempstead Washburne and Citizens candidate Elmer Washburn (former Director of the United States Secret Service and former Chicago Police Chief) were both members of the Washburn family. Elmer Washburn was cousins with Hempstead Washburne's father Elihu B. Washburne.[38] Hempstead Washburne ultimately won the election, with Elmer Washburn coming in fourth-place.

Write-in candidates

While write-in candidates have been permitted, none have achieved much success in general elections. The only arguable exception to this is Thomas Hoyne, who ran a write in campaign in the disputed April 1876 election that courts ruled invalid.

Under Chicago's previous partisan election system, write-in candidates were allowed in party primaries as well as the general election. Ed Vrdolyak won the 1989 Republican primary as a write-in candidate.

Number of candidates on ballot

The following graph and table provide information regarding the number of candidates who participated in each election. The graph and table only consider candidates that were listed on the ballot/ticket (thus, write-in candidates are not counted). It also excludes any candidates for which all votes were counted as "invalid".

For elections held under Chicago's current (nonpartisan) system, the following graph and table represents the number of candidates in the initial round (February election), rather than any runoff election (April election). Runoff elections are effectively predetermined to feature two candidates.

The 2019 election saw a record 14 candidates on the ballot.

Number of candidates by election

The following graph shows the number of candidates in each election, with elections being listed chronologically.

The graph does not account for the difference in the amount of time between elections. All elections are equally spaced from the preceding and the succeeding elections regardless of the length of time that elapsed between them.

City Council-appointed mayors

A number of individuals have been elected by a vote aldermen to fill mayoral vacancies, either as acting or interim mayor.

Lester L. Bond (1873)

On August 18, 1873 Lester L. Bond was appointed as the first "acting mayor" in the city's history.[116][25]

Incumbent mayor Joseph Medill, per city charter, informed the council that he planned to be absent from the city for an unspecified length of time "requiring the City Council to appoint an 'Acting Mayor' to serve during my absence"[25]

The same day, the City Council held a narrow vote to appoint Bond, alderman from the Tenth Ward, to this post.[25]

Bond was sworn-in as Acting Mayor on August 22.[116]

Medill ultimtely did not return until after the remainder of his term had passed, leaving Bond to serve out the rest of his term.[25]

George Bell Swift (1893)

On November 6, 1893 (less than two weeks after the assassination of Carter Harrison Sr.) George Bell Swift was voted by the City Council to serve as Mayor pro tempore (acting mayor) up until after a special election held the following month.[117]

Frank Corr (1933)

On March 14, 1933 Frank J. Corr was elected mayor pro tempure (acting mayor) by the City Council following the assassination of Anton Cermak.[118][119][120] Corr had been chosen by Chicago Democratic boss Patrick Nash, who believed Corr to be neither charismatic nor ambitious, and thus an ideal individual to reliably serve as a placeholder.[119]

Corr was sworn-in on March 16.[118] He resigned on April 13 after serving for 29 days.[118]

Edward J. Kelly (1933)

Edward J. Kelly was elected to replace Corr.[121]

Michael Bilandic (1976)

Following the death in office of Richard J. Daley the city council voted on December 28, 1976 to appoint Michael Bilandic to serve as mayor up until a special election in 1977.

The election came after a brief power dispute. City Council President Pro-Tempure Wilson Frost had declared himself to be acting mayor following Daley's death (which would have made him the first African American to serve as the city's mayor).[122] However, City Corporation Counsel William R. Quinlan disputed this, ruling that, since the city did not have a statute specifically outlining succession, the city council would need to elect the interim mayor.[122]

The result of the City Council vote, effectively a yay or nay vote on appointing Bilandic, was as follows:[123]

In support of Bilandic: 45 (93.75%)
Rejecting Bilandic: 2 (4.17%)
Abstaining: 1 (2.08%)

Eugene Sawyer (1987)

On December 2, 1987, following the death in office of mayor Harold Washington, the Chicago City Council voted to appoint Eugene Sawyer to serve as mayor up until a special election in 1989. The vote was as follows:[124]

Eugene Sawyer: 29 (59.18%)
Timothy C. Evans: 19 (38.78%)
No Preference: 1 (2.04%)

Notes

A.^ Only listing candidates who received a vote share of at least 5%
B.^ April 1876 election was annulled by courts
C.^ March 1844 election was voided by the City Council
D.^ 1859 election featured two Democratic candidates. The listed vote share is that of the top-finisher of the two (Walter S. Gurnee)
E.^ Since the disputed April 1876 mayoral election itself was not included on the ballot/tickets, no candidates were on the ballot.[125]
