Read the guideWard campaigns and citywide elected offices are different projects
Chicago's City Council consists of 50 ward alderpersons. Mayor, City Clerk, and City Treasurer are citywide elected offices, while Cook County is a wider jurisdiction. Use the ward for an alderperson campaign and the municipal boundary for a citywide office, without converting either into a county contest.
Prepare the local office record
An inquiry involving the Clerk or Treasurer should identify that separate citywide candidacy rather than selecting a generic ward project. Keep each committee's authorization and proposed operation explicit when a shared event includes several city offices.
