# Who's running for alderman in Chicago in 2027? Candidates in all 50 wards

Chicago elects all 50 alderpersons on February 23, 2027. Here is everyone who has filed nominating papers for City Council, ward by ward, with how many petition signatures each candidate turned in. As of October 21, 2026, we list **71 candidates in 48 wards**, including 42 sitting alderpersons. The list comes from the Board of Election Commissioners' receipts for nominating papers, and the Board hasn't posted its full list yet, so wards may have more candidates than shown. Filing closes October 26, 2026.

## How to read the charts

- Each bar is our count of filled-in signature lines on the candidate's petition, from the copy the Board provided. It isn't the Board's count of valid signatures: the Board checks signatures only if a voter files an objection (October 27, 2026 to November 2, 2026).
- Candidates for alderperson need at least 473 valid signatures from voters in their ward. The dashed line marks that minimum.
- "(incomplete)" means our copy has at least 3 fewer readable sheets than the Board's receipt lists, so the count is low.
- Candidates are listed by last name, not by signatures. More signatures don't mean more votes.
