Illinois is holding congressional, gubernatorial, and local primary elections on Tuesday. Polls close at 7 p.m. CT.

Illinois Governor

Incumbent Gov. J.B. Pritzker is facing off against Army veteran and nurse, Beverly Miles, in the Democratic primary. The winner of that election will match up against the victor of the state's Republican primary, where six candidates are looking to unseat Pritzker including Darren Bailey, Richard Irvin, and Gary Rabine.

US Senate

A slate of seven Republicans are vying for a chance to challenge incumbent Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth in the November general election. GOP nominees include Navy veteran Peggy Hubbard, pastor Anthony Williams, attorney Kathy Salvi, and Casey Chlebek. Duckworth is unopposed in her primary.

US House

Each of Illinois' 18 congressional districts is up for election this November.

There's a competitive race between Democratic Reps. Marie Newman and Sean Casten on Tuesday as the two face off against each other in the state's 6th Congressional District. Casten currently holds the seat. But redistricting following the recent US Census shifted district lines, pitting him against Newman, who currently represents the 3rd Congressional District.

Redistricting is also causing two Republican incumbents to run against each other in the state's 15th Congressional District. There, Rep. Mary Miller looks to defend her seat against Rep. Rodney Davis in the GOP primary. The winner of their election will advance to face Democrat Paul Lange in November.
