WATCH: Chicago election officials give update as polls open
In the race for mayor, incumbent Lori Lightfoot conceded the race, with Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson advancing to the runoff election.
In the mayoral and aldermanic races, if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, the top two candidates will face off again in a runoff on April 4.
Whoever wins the mayoral race, they'll be working with a very different Chicago City Council. Nearly one-third of the incumbents are leaving, either retiring, taking other jobs, or, in the case of Roderick Sawyer and Sophia King, running for mayor.
There's been a large turnout for early voting.
