With former CPS CEO Paul Vallas and Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson in a dead heat in Chicago's mayoral runoff election, many voters are heading to the polls in advance of next week's election.

While the runoff elections will be held on April 4, early voting in all 50 wards began more than a week ago.

Since the start of early voting on March 20, 114,136 voters have cast their ballots in the runoff election, a significant increase over the 70,006 ballots cast six days out from Election Day in 2019.

The early voting turnout also shows a jump over 2015's numbers, where turnout ended up eclipsing 40% in the runoff. Six days out from the 2015 runoff election, 94,885 total ballots were cast.

In addition to polling places in each ward, voters can also cast their ballots at the city's Supersite, located at 191 N. Clark St.

While the mayoral election continues to grab headlines, 14 of the city's 50 wards will also be voting in an aldermanic runoff race, due to no candidate receiving at least 50 percent of the vote.

For Chicago residents who choose to vote by mail, ballots can be returned to a secure drop box at any of the city's early voting locations or Election Day polling places.

Voters can continue to send in vote-by-mail applications through Thursday, which is the final day the city's Board of Elections can receive new applications.
