The 2027 Chicago mayoral election will be held on February 23, 2027, to elect the mayor of Chicago, Illinois. If no candidate receives a majority of the vote, a runoff election will be held on April 6, 2027. This market will resolve according to the candidate that wins the election. The primary resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting; however, if there is any ambiguity in the results, this market will resolve according to official information from the City of Chicago.Alexi Giannoulias leads the 2027 Chicago mayoral race in trader consensus at 58% amid a fragmented field, driven by his August 2026 announcement, roughly $22 million in campaign funds from trade union and business backers, and strong name recognition as Illinois secretary of state. Early polls show higher voter excitement for his potential bid compared to others, alongside positioning on economic growth, property tax restraint, and public safety. Incumbent Brandon Johnson, who formally launched his reelection effort on September 13 with under $1 million raised and approval ratings near 23-30%, trails at 12% due to dissatisfaction with budget pressures and council relations. Susana Mendoza holds similar ground at 12.5% on established state experience, while the long list of lower-probability contenders reflects the nonpartisan February 23 ballot and likely runoff dynamics.
