Illinois Senate
From The Daily Line's Cloutwiki
The Illinois State Senate is made up of 59 legislators, in single-member districts that serve alternating terms of two or four years so that all districts are remapped every ten years and all are reelected at once in a ten year-cycle. Thus, terms can fall in a 2-4-4, 4-2-4 or 4-4-2 yearly pattern, depending on the district. Each Senate District has two Illinois House districts within its borders.
There are currently 39 Democrats and 20 Republicans, giving Democrats a voting supermajority in the chamber.
