POLLS CLOSE
The polls have now officially closed after record-low voter turnout. Historically, the total number of votes has been much higher, and the number of candidates have been much lower… perhaps a trend in the quantities. In the 2015 race for mayor, candidates Rahm Emanuel, Chuy Garcia, and Willie Wilson gained a total of 429,591 votes.
