What is on Illinois's ballot on Nov 3, 2026, 25 days from now.

Senate

United States Senate

Illinois — Senate

One of Illinois's two Senate seats is on the ballot this cycle. Which of its two senators holds that seat is not shown, because The Record cannot currently establish it. Senate classes belong to seats rather than to states, so naming the right senator needs each one's official term-end date, and Congress.gov does not publish one for a sitting member. Both senators are listed below; the candidate filings are from the FEC and are accurate.

Governor

Governor

Illinois — Governor

Illinois elects a governor on Nov 3, 2026.

The Record doesn't publish candidates or the sitting governor for state races. The Federal Election Commission covers federal candidates only, and there is no free official feed for state offices — so rather than compile a list by hand that would quietly go out of date, this points at the authority that actually runs the election.

Before You Vote

Registration deadlines, polling places, early voting, and what is actually printed on your ballot are all set by your state, not by any of this. Your state's election office is the authoritative source for every one of them.
