The 2018 elections for the Illinois Senate took place on November 6, 2018, to elect senators from 39 of the state's 59 Senate districts to serve in the 101st General Assembly, with seats apportioned among the states based on the 2010 United States census. Under the Illinois Constitution of 1970, senators are divided into three groups, each group having a two-year term at a different part of the decade between censuses, with the rest of the decade being taken up by two four-year terms. [1] The Democratic Party has held a majority in the Senate since 2003, and gained a net of 3 seats.

The elections for Illinois's 18 congressional districts, Governor, statewide constitutional officers, and all 118 seats in the Illinois House of Representatives were also held on this date.

The Republicans needed to win eight seats in order to become the majority party. However, the Democratic Party picked up three additional seats and increased the party's supermajority to 40 seats. [2]
