There is a current citywide turnout of 1,509,554 active registered voters, or 24.44%.Max Bever, director of public information, says he "traded speed for accuracy" and left out additional Vote By Mail ballots that were received back from USPS Monday evening.
I truly regret this error on my part and for the confusion that it has caused the voters of Chicago. I will share updated numbers only when they are accurate and verified." Poll watchers from the campaigns for both of the Democratic candidates for Cook County State's Attorney – Eileen O'Neill Burke and Clayton Harris – have been informed of the error, according to Bever.
