Heading into the election, the incumbent was Tammy Duckworth (Democrat), who was first elected in 2016.

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Illinois uses an open primary system. Voters do not have to register with a party, but they do have to choose, publicly, which party's ballot they will vote on at the primary election.[1][2]

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

This page focuses on Illinois' United States Senate Democratic primary. For more in-depth information on the state's Republican primary and the general election, see the following pages:
