We had no election on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in
November -- the annual traditional Election Day -- but we'll have one
of our "bedsheet ballot" elections on Primary Election Day in March.
Here's what the Chicago elections board expects for that election...

At the March 15, 2016 Primary Elections, Chicago voters will cast
ballots to NOMINATE candidates for these offices:
  - Presidential Preference
  - U.S. Senator
  - State Comptroller (Vacancy - 2-year unexpired term)
  - Representatives in Congress (all districts)
  - State Senators (2-year terms in Districts 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17 and
20; 4-year terms in Districts 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16 and 28)
  - State Representatives (all districts)
  - Commissioners of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (3
for 6-year terms and 1 for an unexpired 2-year term)
  - Cook County Circuit Court Clerk
  - Cook County State's Attorney

  - Board of Review (Tax Appeals) Commissioners: District 1 for
four-year term; District 2 for two-year term
  - Supreme, Appellate, Circuit and Subcircuit Judges to fill
vacancies if required

At the March 15, 2016 Primary Elections, Chicago voters will cast
