2015 Chicago aldermanic elections
Results by ward. The map shows the winning candidate's party affiliations, even though aldermen run as nonpartisans. A white asterisk (*) means the results for that ward were decided in a runoff vote.
The 2015 Chicago aldermanic elections happened on February 24, 2015, to elect the 50 Aldermen that represent Chicago in the City Council . The elections were non-partisan and if no candidate received an absolute majority , a runoff would be held between the top two finishers on April 7, 2015.[1]
Ward boundaries had been redrawn since the previous 2011 election, to reflect the results of the 2010 United States Census .[2] The new ward map had been approved by the Chicago City Council in January 2012.[3]
