Elections

Chicago (Directions)

The Chicago Board of Elections will hold a meeting to share the returns and results of the March 17 primary election. The agenda currently states that this meeting will occur at their offices, but this assignment does not require that you attend in-person. We have reached out to ask if the meeting will be live streamed; if it is not you will have an extended deadline to submit your assignment depending on when the meeting video is posted the Chicago Board of Elections Youtube channel.

If you’re interested, take a look at the video of the Board’s emergency March 19th meeting, which is held semi-remotely and features some discussion on the logistics of remote meetings (around 8 minutes in).

Agency Information

Chicago Board of Elections

The mission of the Board of Election Commissioners for the City of Chicago is to administer a transparent, impartial and accurate election system. This includes managing voter registrations; safeguarding the rights of all voters to cast ballots independently in a safe and quiet atmosphere, free of interference or intimidation; and informing voters of all of their balloting options, such as Election Day voting, Early Voting and Vote By Mail. The Board serves as the quasi-judicial arm of the courts directly responsible for performing all statutory duties under federal and state election codes.
