The results from Tuesday's municipal elections in Chicago are in. Some of them are starkly clear; others won't be determined for another six weeks.

The biggest winner was Rahm Emanuel, who walked away with the mayoralty while avoiding a runoff. Emanuel won 55 percent of the vote, well above the 50-percent threshold required to win the race outright. Gery Chico came in second place with 24 percent; no other candidate won more than 10 percent. For more detailed results and analysis, read our Election Night coverage and live-blog.

In the two other citywide elections, Susana Mendoza won a convincing victory in the City Clerk's race, defeating Patricia Horton by a 60-40 margin to become the city's first female clerk. She succeeds mayoral candidate Miguel del Valle in that office. And Stephanie Neely won an unopposed re-election to the Treasurer's office.
