The 2022 elections for the Illinois House of Representatives occurred on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, to elect representatives from all 118 Representative districts in the Illinois House of Representatives. The primary election occurred on Tuesday, June 28, 2022.[1] The winners of this election serve in the 103rd General Assembly, with seats apportioned among the state based on the 2020 United States census. The Democratic Party has held a House majority since 1997. 92 Democratic candidates; 104 Republican candidates and 1 independent candidate ran for a house seat.[2] The inauguration of the 103rd General Assembly occurred on Wednesday, January 11, 2023.[3]
Democrats flipped 7 seats and Republicans flipped 2 seats, which resulted in the Democrats' net gain of 5 seats and increasing their supermajority to 78 out of 118 seats.[4]
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 won't be available until September 2021.[8] 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."[9] — 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."[10]
