An election took place on February 24, 2015, to elect the mayor of Chicago. The election was non-partisan and no candidate received a majority. A runoff election was held between the top two finishers (both Democrats) on April 7, 2015, and resulted in the reelection of incumbent mayor Rahm Emanuel.{{cite web|url=http://www.chicagoelections.com/dm/general/document_595.pdf|title=2015 ELECTION INFORMATION PAMPHLET & CALENDAR|work=ChicagoElections.com|date=July 29, 2014|access-date=September 17, 2014|archive-date=October 30, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141030191015/http://www.chicagoelections.com/dm/general/document_595.pdf|url-status=dead}} The elections were concurrent with the 2015 Chicago aldermanic elections.
Emanuel ran for reelection, seeking a second term in office. In the first round, Emanuel received 46% of the vote and Democratic Cook County Commissioner Jesús "Chuy" García received 34%. Because no candidate received a majority, a runoff was held. In the runoff, Emanuel received 56.23% of the vote, winning the election. Garcia received 43.77% of the vote.{{Citation|last1=Milkowski|first1=Bill|title=Bruford, Bill|date=2003|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.j063600|work=Oxford Music Online|publisher=Oxford University Press|access-date=2021-06-09|last2=Kernfeld|first2=Barry|doi=10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.j063600}} 2015 was the first time the election advanced to a runoff since mayoral elections became non-partisan in 1999.
