A general election was held in the U.S. state of Illinois on November 8, 2022. The elections for United States Senate and United States House of Representatives, Governor, statewide constitutional officers, Illinois Senate, and Illinois House were held on this date.

Election information

2022 is a midterm election year in the United States.

The primary election was held on June 28. The general election was held on November 8, 2022.

On June 17, 2021, Governor J. B. Pritzker signed a bill which made a number of election-related changes. The bill made the November election day a state holiday. It also made permanent a number of changes that had been implemented for the preceding 2020 elections amid the COVID-19 pandemic, including "curbside voting" and universal access to postal voting. The bill also delayed the date of the 2022 primary election from March 15 to June 28, citing the delay in the release of 2020 United States Census data needed for the reapportionment of electoral districts.

Ballot measure

The Illinois General Assembly has the authority to refer statewide ballot measures, either as legislatively referred constitutional amendments or referendums. In order to be referred to voters, a proposed constitutional amendment must receive a vote of 60% approval in both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly. No gubernatorial approval is required. Advisory questions require a simple majority approval vote in each chamber of the Illinois General Assembly and the signature of the governor.

In Illinois, ballot initiatives can be included on the ballot. In Illinois, in order to be included on the ballot, an initiative must receive signatures of support equal in number to 8% of the turnout for the previous gubernatorial election. For the 2022 election, this meant that ballot initiatives required 363,813 signatures. Ballot initiatives in Illinois are only permitted to revise Section IV of the Constitution of Illinois. In order for an initiative be included on the November 2022 ballot, the signatures supporting it were required to be filed no later than May 8, 2022. No ballot initiative was filed by this deadline.

Thus far, a single ballot measure (a legislatively referred constitutional amendment) has been scheduled for the November general election.

Right to Collective Bargaining Amendment

Шаблон:Infobox referendum In the November 8, 2022 general election, Illinois voters voted on whether to ratify the proposed Right to Collective Bargaining Amendment.

The proposed amendment would guarantee the right for employees to organize and bargain collectively through representatives of their choosing in negotiations concerning "wages, hours, and working conditions and to protect their economic welfare and safety at work." The amendment would also prohibit legislation which interferes with, negates, or diminishes collective bargaining agreements, including agreements which require union membership as a condition of employment. The amendment would, effectively, render any state or local "right-to-work" legislation (which would prohibit collective bargaining agreements that require union membership as a condition of employment) unconstitutional in Illinois.

Prohibition on local-level right-to-work ordinances currently exists through both Illinois state law and federal legal precedence. In 2019, Illinois ratified a state law prohibiting local governments from creating right-to-work zones. In 2017, in a case concerning a 2015 local right-to-work ordinance adopted by the village of Lincolnshire, Illinois, Judge Matthew Kennelly issued a ruling in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois that the National Labor Relations Act does not enable local governments to pass right-to-work laws. This was a ruling counter to a 2016 United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit decision on such laws. Kennelly's ruling was subsequently upheld the following year by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in a unanimous decision.

Currently, only three states in the United States (Hawaii, Missouri, and New York) have clauses in their state constitutions which assert a right to collectively bargain. Currently, no state constitutions have a clause prohibiting right-to-work legislation (which ban collective bargaining agreements that require union membership as a condition of employment).

The legislation referring the proposed amendment to voters received the needed 60% approval vote in the Illinois Senate on May 21, 2021, and in the Illinois House of Representatives on May 26, 2021.

In order to be ratified, the amendment is required to receive either 60% support among those specifically voting on the amendment or 50% support among all ballots cast in the state's election.

If ratified, the amendment would expand the Bill of Rights contained in the Illinois Constitution of 1970. It would add the following text as a new 25th section of Article I of the Constitution of Illinois,
