The 2022 elections for the Illinois Senate occurred on November 8, 2022, to elect senators from all of the state's 59 legislative districts in the Illinois Senate. The primary election took place on Tuesday, June 28, 2022. [1] The winners of this election would serve in the 103rd General Assembly, with seats apportioned among the state based on the 2020 United States census. Under the Illinois Constitution of 1970, senators are divided into three groups, with 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. [2] The Democratic Party had held a majority in the Senate since 2003. The inauguration of the 103rd General Assembly occurred on Wednesday, January 11, 2023. [3]

Contents

The elections for Illinois United States Senator (Class III), Illinois's 17 congressional districts, Illinois Governor and Lieutenant Governor, Illinois Executive positions, and the Illinois House were also held on this date.

The Republican Party flipped two districts, with the Democratic Party flipping one district, resulting in a net gain of one seat for the Republicans. Despite the seat loss, the Democrats still maintained their supermajority in the Illinois Senate.

Election info

Illinois Senate Minority Leader

Bill Brady was the Republican Minority Leader of the Illinois Senate from July 1, 2017, to December 31, 2020. On November 4, 2020, Brady announced he would step down as Senate party leader and would "[hint] at another run for statewide office." [5] Dan McConchie was elected on November 5, 2020, as then-leader-elect of the Republican caucus. [6] Brady would go on to resign from the Senate on December 31, 2020. [7] Alongside the inauguration of the 102nd General Assembly, McConchie was formally confirmed as Republican Minority Leader on January 13, 2021. [8]

Redistricting

With the 2020 United States census, all 59 legislative districts and the corresponding 118 representative districts were required to be redrawn to accommodate the new population data. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States Census Bureau stated that the necessary data for redistricting would not be available until September 2021. [9] The Illinois Constitution states that:

"In the year following each Federal decennial census year, the General Assembly by law shall redistrict the Legislative Districts and the Representative Districts. If no redistricting plan becomes effective by June 30 of that year, a Legislative Redistricting Commission shall be constituted not later than July 10. The Commission shall consist of eight members, no more than four of whom shall be members of the same political party." [10]
Illinois Constitution Article IV Section 3b
With the possibility of this commission and the state constitution not specifying what population data to use in redistricting, Illinois Democrats went ahead and started the redistricting process. In redistricting, the committees used data from the American Community Survey. Democrats faced criticism from Republicans over the use of the ACS data in redistricting and shutting out Republicans in the redistricting process. Governor J. B. Pritzker faced criticism for his previous support in 2018 for an independent commission and pledge to veto any maps "in any way drafted or created by legislators, political party leaders and/or their staffs or allies." [11]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">1912–13 United States Senate elections</span>

The 1912–13 United States Senate elections were held on various dates in various states. They were the last U.S. Senate elections before the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913, establishing direct elections for all Senate seats. Senators had been primarily chosen by state legislatures. Senators were elected over a wide range of time throughout 1912 and 1913, and a seat may have been filled months late or remained vacant due to legislative deadlock. Some states elected their senators directly even before passage of Seventeenth Amendment. Oregon pioneered direct election and experimented with different measures over several years until it succeeded in 1907. Soon after, Nebraska followed suit and laid the foundation for other states to adopt measures reflecting the people's will. By 1912, as many as 29 states elected senators either as nominees of their party's primary or in conjunction with a general election.
