The primary elections were held on March 19, 2024.
The 1st district is based in the South Side of Chicago, including portions of Bronzeville, Hyde Park, Grand Crossing, Morgan Park, and Roseland, but also reaches down to the southwest and takes in a collection of exurban and rural areas in Cook County, Will County, and Kankakee County, including New Lenox and Homer Glen.

The 6th district is based in the southwest Chicago suburbs, including Oak Lawn and Downers Grove, as well as parts of the eastern DuPage County suburbs. The incumbent was Democrat Sean Casten, who was re-elected with 54.4% of the vote in 2022.
The 7th district is based in the West Side and downtown of Chicago, including Austin, East Garfield Park, the Loop, the Near North Side, the Near South Side, the Near West Side, North Lawndale, West Garfield Park, and West Town. It also takes in the villages of Oak Park and Maywood. The incumbent was Democrat Danny Davis, who was re-elected unopposed in 2022.
Davis was considered vulnerable in his primary after he was renominated with just 51.9% of the vote in 2022.
The 8th district is based in the western outer suburbs of Chicago, including Elgin, Schaumburg, and Des Plaines. The incumbent was Democrat Raja Krishnamoorthi, who was re-elected with 56.9% of the vote in 2022.
The 9th district is based in northern Chicago and the North Shore, taking in Evanston and Skokie. The incumbent was Democrat Janice Schakowsky, who was re-elected with 71.7% of the vote in 2022.
The 10th district is based in the northern suburbs and exurbs of Chicago, including Mundelein, Northbrook, and Waukegan. The incumbent was Democrat Brad Schneider, who was re-elected with 63.0% of the vote in 2022.
The election resulted in Democratic incumbent United States Representative Brad Schneider winning re-election in the 10th district against Republican opponent Jim Carris. Throughout the general campaign Carris emphasized issues such as inflation and immigration while Schneider ran as a political moderate and focused on the economy along with other issues.
The district took a 6% shift to the right from 2022. This shift was a result of an unfavorable national environment for Democrats and an increase of Republicans voting down-ballot during the 2024 presidential election, although this shift was not large enough to flip the district.
The 11th district is based in the western suburbs and exurbs of Chicago, including Aurora, Naperville, and Belvidere. The incumbent was Democrat Bill Foster, who was re-elected with 56.5% of the vote in 2022.
