1876 Chicago mayoral elections
The Chicago mayoral elections of 1876 is one of only two instances in which a Chicago mayoral election was declared invalid (the other being in 1844). After an election was held in April under disputed circumstances, and was subsequently nullified by the courts, a special election was held in July. Republican Monroe Heath won the special election in July, thus becoming mayor of Chicago. These are the last Chicago mayoral elections (including special elections) to take place in an even-numbered year. They are also the only elections since 1862 to have been held in an even-numbered year.
