Illinois voters decide their party’s nominees for races at the federal and state levels, as well as in a few local races, during the March 17 primary election.

Topping the ballot is the race to succeed Democratic U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, who is retiring after five terms. Among the Democrats running are U.S. Reps. Robin Kelly and Raja Krishnamoorthi and Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton, who has Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker’s endorsement. The Republican field includes former state Republican Party chair Don Tracy and attorney Jeannie Evans.

In the U.S. House primaries, Kelly’s and Krishnamoorthi’s Senate bids and the retirements of longtime Democratic U.S. Reps. Danny Davis and Jan Schakowsky have attracted crowded fields of candidates running to replace them.

In the race for governor, Pritzker is unopposed in his bid for renomination. In the Republican primary, four candidates look to thwart Pritzker’s reelection bid in November, including former state Sen. Darren Bailey, who lost to Pritzker in the 2022 governor’s race.

Votes will be counted in contested races after polls close in Illinois at 7 p.m. Any last-minute questions about voting? View our voter guide.
