The 2024 United States presidential election in Illinois is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia will participate. Illinois voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Illinois has 19 electoral votes in the Electoral College this election, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state lost a seat.[1]
Illinois is a strongly blue state in the Great Lakes region anchored by Chicago, with the sparsely populated southern region of the state being culturally influenced by the Upper South and Bible Belt. The state has voted for the Democratic candidate in every presidential election beginning in 1992 (doing so by at least 10% each time), including voting for Senator Barack Obama from Illinois in 2008 and 2012 and Chicago-born Hillary Clinton in 2016. This will also be the first election since 1868 in which Illinois will not have 20 or more electoral votes.

The 2024 Democratic National Convention is scheduled to happen in Chicago between August 19 and August 22nd.[2] This year will mark the first time the Democratic Party hosted it in Chicago since 1996.[3] Chicago is commonly selected for presidential nominating conventions due to its location and has hosted presidential nominating conventions for the Democrats 11 times up until the 2024 convention and 14 times by the Republicans.[4]
