Chicago voters<\/a> are entering the booths to decide who will lead the Windy City after outgoing Mayor Lori Lightfoot didn\u2019t make the runoff.<\/p>\n

The mayoral runoff election<\/a> in Chicago kicked off on Tuesday as citizens cast their ballot between two Democrats: former CEO of Chicago Public Schools Paul Vallas, a moderate, and progressive Democrat Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson.<\/p>\n

Johnson \u2014 who was endorsed by democratic socialist Senator Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. \u2014 came in second in the general election under the police union-backed Vallas, but a runoff was triggered after neither received over 50 percent of the vote.<\/p>\n

MODERATE PAUL VALLAS, LEFTIST-BACKED BRANDON JOHNSON FACE OFF IN CHICAGO MAYORAL RACE<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Chicago\u2019s rampant crime has been a mainstay issue throughout the tight race for the Windy City\u2019s top office.<\/p>\n

The number of homicides in Chicago in 2021 hit a 25-year-high reaching 797, according to the Chicago Police Department.<\/p>\n

Lightfoot came in third place in the general election, becoming the first Chicago mayor in four decades to not win re-election.<\/p>\n

Polls are set to close at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, but a competitive election could delay results.<\/p>\n

The February general election saw the city count 10 percent of the ballots the day after election day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

City-wide results are expected to be released shortly after the polls close, but results by ward are expected to be released by 1 a.m. ET.<\/p>\n

As of the citywide general election, there were 1.6 million registered voters in Chicago. Sunday saw 246,188 advance ballots cast.<\/p>\n

Fifty-two percent of voters cast their ballot before the general election on February 28, and mail-in ballots can be counted well after the election so long as they are postmarked by election day.<\/p>\n
