📂 Where the data comes from

This site isn't the official clerk — it's a cabinet that puts the sources in one place so a Chicagoan can ask "who's running in my CPS subdistrict and my ward, and when do I vote?" A fully assembled race draws on up to five drawers: map · candidates · money · results · context. Here's what each source owns and what's live today.

🗳️ Candidates & city results live · candidates · results ready

City candidate filings, early-vote sites, precinct/ward maps — and per-race vote results, which attach automatically on Election Night.

🏫 State & CPS candidates live

Statewide + CPS board candidate lists ("Who Is Running") and official campaign-money files.

🏛️ General-election nominees live · Nov 2026

The Nov 3, 2026 nominees — U.S. Senate & House, Governor and the statewide offices, and the Illinois General Assembly — compiled from Wikipedia's per-office election pages (which cite the ISBE candidate list); each candidate links to its source. A district not filled in yet stays empty rather than guessed.

🗺️ Maps live · ward + police

Ward & police-district boundaries draw a locator on each race (from the City Data Portal). CPS subdistrict polygons aren't published yet.

💭 Potential candidates live · unofficial

Before filing opens, outlets report who's running or exploring. We surface those names per race from a Google News search of the press — clearly unofficial, each linked to its article, always kept apart from the official list. A name shows only when a headline both names the person and references the race.
