The 2016 Elections for the Illinois House of Representatives were conducted on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. State Representatives are elected for two-year terms, with the entire House of Representatives elected every two years. The Democratic party lost a net of four seats and thus its three-fifths supermajority in the chamber. Republicans picked up five seats in the 63rd (McHenry County ), 71st (Sterling ), 76th (LaSalle ), 79th (Kankakee ), and 117th (Marion ) districts, whilst the Democrats won the previously Republican held 112th district (Edwardsville /Collinsville )
