It’s Election Day, and Chicago voters have been heading to the polls since 6 a.m. to cast ballots in the hotly contested mayoral race and to vote for aldermen in all 50 wards.
“We expect a good turnout today, as we know that many voters have been listening to the candidates, understanding their positions and now it’s time to vote,” Hernandez said at the morning news conference.
Turnout was 21% by midday. Bever said he was hoping for 40% by day’s end, “but if voting stays sluggish, not sure.” Marie Drevets, 22, an engineer who lives in Logan Square, also dropped off her mail-in ballot at the early voting supersite, but, unlike Camargo, she voted for U.S. Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García, whom she said she has come to trust.
”He spoke of equity in education throughout the city,” said Berry, who works for a nonprofit focused on employing people in underresourced communities in the city and partners with a nonprofit dedicated to reducing gun violence on the South and West sides. David Galvan reacts after feeding his ballot into the voting machine at the Boathouse at Park #571 in Chicago’s 11th Ward in the Bridgeport neighborhood on Feb. 28, 2023.“To be honest with you, I don’t believe there is a politician in the state of Illinois that can do anything about the violence,” said Galvin, who works at Rush University Medical Center and acknowledged he “wasn’t a good kid” in the ‘50s and ‘60s.
