Several races in Illinois’ primary election remain too close to call, even a day after the polls closed. Votes are still being tallied, and the results will be available on NBC Chicago’s live election results page on their website and app. The Chicago Board of Elections has mentioned that they are still processing mail-in ballots, as per the Illinois election code.
