    CHICAGO — It’s election day and Chicago voters have been heading to the polls since 6 a.m. to cast ballots in the hotly contested mayoral race and to vote for aldermen in all 50 wards.

    Incumbent Mayor Lori Lightfoot is being challenged by eight candidates as she seeks reelection to a second term.

    Chicago voters for the first time in city history will be able to vote for representatives on civilian police oversight councils.

    Many races — including likely the mayor’s race — won’t be decided until runoffs on April 4. Candidates for mayor and aldermen won’t win office Tuesday unless their vote totals exceed 50%.

    Weather forecasters predict a partly cloudy day Tuesday with a high of 45 degrees. The polls will be open until 7 p.m.
