Chicago Elections Tracker
An independent, unofficial tracker covering Chicago’s 2027 mayoral and council races, the 2026 elected school board, and a line-by-line look at local taxes.
Why it surfaced
This is civic coverage organized around the details voters actually need: candidate money, endorsements, ballot status, ward-by-ward challengers, budget fights, and election calendars. It also asks six pointed housing questions and publishes an itemized tax receipt for a median Chicago household.
