On April 7, there's going to be a world-historical electoral showdown in Chicago between the Clinton forces and the Warren-Sanders forces. The incumbent mayor, Rahm Emmanuel, a veteran of Team Clinton, is known to many Chicagoans as "Mayor 1%.". The insurgent, Chuy Garcia, is a former lieutenant of Mayor Harold Washington. National groups are mobilizing to make the election a referendum on Wall Street vs. Main Street.
College students from Chicago who are registered to vote in Chicago can vote by mail. I can report from being a student at UIUC that it was very common for students from Chicago to keep their Chicago voter registration while they were students in Urbana. The official deadline for voter registration is March 10. Chicago residents can register to vote online. I gathered all this information and more in a diary at Daily Kos: Rock the Vote: Chicago Mayoral Election Planning Calendar http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/03/04/1368562/-Rock-the-Vote-Chicago-Mayoral-Election-Planning-Calendar === Robert Naiman Policy Director Just Foreign Policy www.justforeignpolicy.org [email protected] (202) 448-2898 x1
