Numerous incumbent alderpersons ran in the newly-drawn 14 wards. [lower-alpha 1] Some local media outlets used the term "Aldergeddon" in reference to the competitive nature of several incumbents running against each other. [2] Winning candidates in even-numbered wards were elected to four-year terms and winning candidates in odd-numbered wards were elected to two-year terms. [3]

Incumbent Board President Megan Green, a progressive who was first elected in a 2022 special election after the resignation of Lewis Reed, was re-elected to a full four-year term unopposed. Progressive candidates ideologically affiliated with Green and Mayor Tishaura Jones won a majority of seats on the Board. [4]
