Question: Who is My Illinois State Representative and What District Do I Live In?
Answer: Chicago and suburban Cook County, IL residents can identify their Illinois state representatives by typing their address into a database called Civic Footprint. The search engine was created as a public service by the Chicago-based non-profit Center for Neighborhood Technology.

It also gives contact information for every State Representative. Your district number can be found in parentheses after your State Representative's name.

Illinois residents who do not live in Chicago or suburban Cook County, IL can go to the Illinois State Board of Elections search tool here to identify their Illinois state representative.

Our state representatives serve in the State of Illinois General Assembly or legislature, which meets in Springfield, IL.
