Colonel William A. Phillips

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, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state lost a seat.[1] This will also be the first election since 1868 in which Illinois will not have 20 or more electoral votes.

Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden is running for reelection to a second term.[2]
