2006 Illinois elections Turnout 48.64%
The 2006 Illinois elections were held on November 7, 2006. On that date, registered voters in the State of Illinois elected officeholders for U.S. Congress , to six statewide offices (Governor /Lieutenant Governor , Attorney General , Secretary of States , Treasurer and Comptroller ), as well as to the Illinois Senate and Illinois House .
The incumbent Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka , previously the only Republican elected statewide, made an unsuccessful run for governor rather than stand for re-election. Democrat Alexi Giannoulias was elected to succeed her, and the Democratic incumbents for the other statewide offices won re-election, making Illinois the only Midwestern state in which Democrats held all statewide offices.[citation needed
For the first time since the 1930s , all executive offices and control of the Illinois General Assembly was won by the Democratic Party. The last time any party had met this feat had been the mid-1990s, when the Republican Party held such power following the 1994 Illinois elections .
2006 was a midterm election year in the United States.
For the primary election, turnout was 24.84%, with 1,804,624 votes cast.[ 1]
