Federal elections

Judicial elections

Judicial elections were held.

Ballot measure

Illinois voters voted on a single ballot measure in 1998. 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.

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

Proposed call for a Constitutional Convention

A measure which would call for a state constitutional convention failed. 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.
