How Did Each Ward Vote in the First Round of the 2019 Chicago Mayoral Election?

As the 2023 Chicago mayoral election is less than a month away, voters preparing to make a decision on who to vote for may also be curious about the candidates' performance in their neighborhood four years ago.

While many of the candidates are different this time around, Lori Lightfoot, Willie Wilson and Paul Vallas will all have results from 2019 to compare this year's endeavor to, with the latter two candidates hoping to improve upon their previous performances and advance to a runoff election.

Though the results offer insight into the trends of Chicago's different neighborhoods, this year's results will show noticeable differences, thanks to a new ward map and five fewer candidates listed on the ballot.

The following candidates placed at least third or better in at least one ward in the first round of the 2019 mayoral election:

• Lori Lightfoot, former President of Chicago Police Board
• Toni Preckwinkle, President of Cook County Board of Commissioners
• Gery Chico, former Chair of Illinois State Board of Education
• Bill Daley, former White House Chief of Staff, Secretary of Commerce
• Amara Enyia, director of Austin Chamber of Commerce
• Susana Mendoza, Comptroller of Illinois
• Willie Wilson, businessman, owner of Omar Medical Supplies
• Jerry Joyce, former Assistant State's Attorney
• Paul Vallas, former CEO of Chicago Public Schools

The following candidates were also listed on the ballot in the 2019 mayoral election:

• Bob Fioretti, former 2nd Ward Ald.
• La Shawn Ford, Illinois State Representative
• John Kozlar, former aldermanic candidate
• Garry McCarthy, former Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department
• Neal Sales-Griffin, businessman

Below are the top three vote-getters in each of Chicago's 50 wards in the first round of the 2019 Chicago mayoral election. Candidates who received 10 percent of the vote or more in a particular ward are also listed.
