Illinois Redistricting – Proposed Illinois House and Illinois Senate Map Boundaries – May 2011

In May 2011, the Illinois Democrats proposed new boundaries for the Illinois house and Illinois senate general assembly districts. If these district boundaries are approved, they will be in effect for the 2012 elections through the 2020 elections.

Each Illinois senate district is made up of two Illinois house districts. For example, house districts 1 and 2 make up Illinois Senate district 1, house districts 35 and 36 make up Illinois senate district 18, etc. (Note, if the house district number is even, divide the district number by two to determine the Illinois senate district. If the Illinois house district number is odd, then add one and divide the sum by two to determine the Illinois senate district.)
