Illinois has no minor party presidential candidates this year, although independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is on the ballot.
This is the first presidential election since 1964 in which Illinois has had no minor party candidates on the ballot, but that is an accurate statement which the author could have said.
In 1964 only the Democratic and Republican nominees were on in Illinois. The Socialist Labor Party pad petitioned,, and no one challenged its petition validity. But it was still kept off because at the time, Illinois had a law requiring a new party to run a full slate of candidates. That year the entire Illinois House was being elected at-large. The Socialist Labor Party petition did not list any candidates for State House. The challengers successfully argued that the petition was invalid because it didn’t include 177 candidates for State House.
The reason the entire house was being elected at-large is that the legislature had failed to pass a redistricting bill that didn’t violate one person, one vote.

Illinois raises taxes on ultra-high earners. But overall, Harris won by 8%. The closest Illinois result since 1988.

On November 5, the Working Class Party polled enough votes to become ballot-qualified for 2026 in the Illinois Fourth U.S. House district. Ed Hershey polled 5.11% of the vote, meeting the 5% vote test.
Although Illinois has some of the worst ballot access laws in the nation for minor parties and independents, Illinois does allow parties to become ballot-qualified in just part of the state, if they meet the vote test in that portion of the state.
Hershey was running against both a Democrat and a Republican. This is the first time the Working Class Party has attained qualified party status anywhere in the U.S., other than in Maryland and Michigan.
