All 19 of Illinois’ seats in the United States House of Representatives were up for election in 2008.

The Democratic Party flipped one Republican-held seat, making the composition of Illinois' House delegation 11 Democrats and 8 Republicans.

## State elections

[edit]

### State Senate

[edit]

Main article: 2008 Illinois Senate election

One-third of the seats of the Illinois Senate were up for election in 2008.

### State House of Representatives

[edit]

Main article: 2008 Illinois House of Representatives election

### Judicial elections

[edit]

Judicial elections were held.

### Ballot measure

[edit]

Illinois voters voted on a single ballot measure in 1998.[3] In order to be approved, the measure required either 60% support among those specifically voting on the amendment or 50% support among all ballots cast in the elections.[3]

This was the first time since the 1998 Illinois elections that a statewide ballot measure was presented to Illinois voters.[3]

#### Proposed call for a Constitutional Convention

[edit]

A measure which would call for a state constitutional convention failed.[3] Article XIV of the Constitution of Illinois requires that Illinois voters be asked at least every 20 years if they desire a constitutional convention, thus this election was constitutionally required to be held.[4]

Proposed call for a Constitutional Convention[2][3]
