If you live in Chicago and you have a hard time keeping track of candidates running for public office… the job is about to get a little harder. You’ll now be voting in police district council elections. The councils are part of a new police oversight system meant to give civilians a say in how the city is policed.
Most people don’t know who’s running, but for a number of candidates on the ballot, this race is personal.
