What's on the ballot?

The main race is for mayor and the incumbent, Kathy Sheehan, is expected to be reelected. She faces three others but all are on minor party lines.

Nine of the 15 seats on the Common Council are also up for election as are the offices of treasurer and auditor. There is also a race for judge.

People will also be able to vote on whether or not the state should have a constitutional convention. It's an issue brought before the voters every 20 years.

There are also two ballot propositions: one which would remove public pensions from elected officials convicted of corruption and the other which would create a "land bank" that would allow for some development in the state's forest preserve.
