2023 Chicago Aldermanic Election
The 2023 Chicago aldermanic election took place in two rounds on February 28 and April 4, 2023, to elect 50 alderpersons to the Chicago City Council. Each alderperson represents one of Chicago's 50 wards. The elections are non-partisan and use a two-round system where the top two finishers compete in a second-round runoff if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote in the first round. The elections are part of the 2023 Chicago elections, which include elections for Mayor, City Clerk, and City Treasurer. Sixteen seats changed hands since the previous election, as 12 alderpersons did not run for re-election and 4 additional members resigned during their terms. Media commentators and analysts have noted this unusually high number of retirements, comparing it to the broader "Great Resignation" phenomenon in the United States workforce. In the first round, candidates in 36 wards won outright majorities while elections in 14 wards proceeded to a runoff election. One incumb ...

Cook County Board Of Review
The Cook County Board of Review is an independent office created by statute by the Illinois General Assembly and is governed by three commissioners who are elected by district for two- or four-year terms. Cook County, which includes Chicago, is the United States' second-most populous county (after Los Angeles County, California) with a population of 5.2 million residents. The Cook County Board of Review holds quasi-judicial powers to adjudicate taxpayer complaints or recommend exempt status of real property. History The board had been first created after the task of hearing tax appeals was transferred from the Cook County Board of Commissioners to a three-member board of review. The Revenue Act of 1939 converted this appeals system into a two member Cook County Board of Appeals. Both members were elected in a single at-large election held quadrennially. It remained this way until 1998. In 1996, the Illinois Legislature successfully passed Public Act 89-671, which made it so that, in ...

On the western or "upriver" side, the Ninth Ward is bounded by (going from the River north to Lake Pontchartrain) Franklin Avenue, then Almonaster Avenue, then People's Avenue.
