Elections were held in Illinois on Tuesday, November 4, 1952.[1]
Primaries were held on April 8.[1][2]
The elections, in large part, saw a strong performance by the Republican Party.
The Republican Party retained control both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly and also won the Governorship, winning them a trifecta of state government control. They also swept all statewide elected executive offices. Additionally, they won all three seats for University of Illinois Trustees that were up for election.
For the first time since 1928, Illinois voted for the Republican presidential ticket, despite the fact that the Democratic ticket was headed by incumbent Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson II.
