CHICAGO (CBS) -- Chicago's mayoral election is just 10 days away, and leaders in the Latino community are urging voters to cast their ballots early.
Former Congressman Luis Guitierrez staged a news conference raising concerns about potential problems at polling places.

At last check nearly 77,000 people had voted early in the municipal election.
Early voting locations are now open in all 50 wards.
