An election for Mayor of Chicago in which the first round was held on February 26, 2019. Since no candidate received a majority of votes, a runoff election will be held on April 2, 2019. Incumbent Rahm Emanuel was able to run for a third term, as there are no term limits for the office of Mayor of Chicago, but on September 4, 2018 declined to seek a third term.[4][5]
Emanuel was first elected in 2011, when he took 55.19% of the vote in a four candidate field. He was reelected in 2015, receiving 55.7% of the vote in the runoff election.
The total of fourteen candidates on the mayoral ballot is record-setting for Chicago mayoral elections.[6]
In the first round election, Lori Lightfoot and Toni Preckwinkle advanced to the runoff election.[7] Lightfoot was elected in a victory landslide, becoming the first African-American woman mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot will also be the first openly LGBT Mayor of Chicago.[8] Lightfoot won all fifty of the city's wards.[9]
