Help Put Byron on the Ballot: Petition Canvasses in October

Chicago DSA's Southside Branch is hosting petition canvasses on October 18, 21 and 25 to gather the signatures that put Byron on the February 23 ballot.

To get on the February 23, 2027 ballot, every candidate for alderperson files a nominating petition signed by registered voters who live in the ward. The law sets the floor at 473 valid signatures. Petitions go to the Chicago Board of Elections between October 19 and 26, 2026.

We gather those signatures the way we do everything, neighbor to neighbor at the door. Chicago DSA's Southside Branch is sponsoring these petition canvasses, and each one has an RSVP page: Sunday, October 18, 11 AM to 2 PM, at the 25th Ward IPO office, 2102 W Cermak Rd. Wednesday, October 21, 5:30 to 7:30 PM, at 2102 W Cermak Rd. Sunday, October 25, 10 AM to 1 PM, at Cafe Latteaa, 3536 W 26th St.

There is also a canvass on Sunday, October 11, from 11 AM to 2 PM, meeting at Anticonquista Cafe, 952 W 18th St.

First time on the doors? Join the canvass team and tell us when you can go out. Every signature on that petition is a neighbor's name.
