Incumbent Democrat Roland Burris, appointed in 2009 by then-Governor Rod Blagojevich to fill the U.S. Senate seat that Barack Obama had vacated after being elected President of the United States, did not seek reelection.
U.S. Congressman Mark Kirk (Republican Party) won against State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias (Democratic Party), Mike Labno (Libertarian Party), and football coach LeAlan Jones (Green Party) in both a regular election for the Senate seat and a coinciding special election to fill the remainder of Barack Obama's unexpired term.
Incumbent TreasurerAlexi Giannoulias, a Democrat, did not seek reelection to a second term, instead opting to run for United States Senate. Republican Dan Rutherford was elected to succeed him. As of 2022[update], this is the last time a Republican was elected Illinois state treasurer.
Voters approved the Illinois Governor Recall Amendment, allowing voters to hold recall elections of Illinois Governors.[5] 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.[6] The 60% support threshold was exceeded.[5][6]
