The US attorney's office in Chicago shared that Tuesday's regional election will be monitored. They will also field any complaints alleging voting fraud. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is looking for second term.

Emanuel will be in an election runoff against Cook County Commissioner Jesus Garcia. It is just after falling brief of the required majority to win February's election. There is an extended-standing federal practice in order to monitor elections and to take calls from those who think that their voting rights have been violated.

A hotline will be operated by the Chicago workplace for complaints from candidates or voters at phone number 312-469-6157. According to prosecutors, if needed the FBI's Chicago workplace and the US Marshals Service will help to investigate any credible complaints about election fraud. Contest of Tuesday is also going to feature runoffs for aldermanic contests.

Emanuel, who serves as the 55th Mayor of Chicago is in a race to retain his job against Garcia, a career politician with strong ties to Chicago's progressive community. When ailing Chicago Teachers Union president Karen Lewis decided not to run, Garcia was drafted for the 'anybody but Rahm' ticket and emerged as Emanuel's challenger at the time the mayor might not capture 50% of the vote against four other candidates February 24.

In 2011, Emanuel was elected and became Chicago's first Jewish mayor. He was appointed as director of the finance committee for Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. In 1986, Garcia was elected to the Chicago City Council and back in 1992 became the first Mexican-American member of the Illinois State Senate.
