Most of Illinois' midterm election results have largely evolved as expected so far, with Democrats holding onto several Congressional seats and retaining the governorship of the state.
Reps. Sean Casten and Lauren Underwood both held onto their seats, and Democrats even flipped one seat as Nikki Budzinski is expected to win over Regan Deering in the 13th district.
Here are the latest updates on the races to watch, and you can follow along with current results here.

It is highly unlikely that the constitutional amendment question will be called on Tuesday night, since the final outcome depends on percentages of total votes cast or on responses to the question itself.
