That depends on your Ward. In Ward 4 you would have needed to literally be blind to not know for months ahead of time that the primary was coming; everywhere you looked there were signs up for the various City Council contenders. I suspect Ward 7 and 8 (which also had contested primaries) went through the same thing.
