The Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability voted for the first time Thursday to fill a vacant seat on one of the city’s 22 Police District Councils after not enough candidates ran to fill the district council’s three positions during the Feb. 28 election. Members also gave an update on the search for a new police superintendent. 

Members of the commission voted unanimously to recommend Marcel Bright fill the vacant position on District Council 1, which largely covers Chicago’s downtown. The recommendation now goes to Mayor Brandon Johnson for his approval.
