Chicago Mayoral Election 2019: Who's in the race for mayor? Meet the Candidates

CHICAGO (WLS) -- The Chicago mayoral election race has narrowed from 14 candidates to two: Lori Lightfoot and Toni Preckwinkle. See their one-on-one interviews with ABC7's Craig Wall and get important voter information before the 2019 election.

The run-off mayoral election between Lightfoot and Preckwinkle will be held Tuesday, April 2. The Chicago Board of Elections issued a proclamation to open early voting in wards and vote by mail early, on Thursday, March 14. The board said due to a calendar fluke the 2019 run-off season is seven days shorter than in 2015, and so they are opening early voting earlier to help offset the difference.
