It can be for two years of four years depending on which cycle the district he is representing is in. An Illinois Senate cycle can be 2-4-4, 4-2-4 or 4-4-2 years with one third of the districts in each cycle to insure that all of the senators will not be replaced during a single election.

∙ 15y ago* In the House each member is elected to two year terms with no term limits. * The Senate elects in a staggered cycle to avoid a complete turnover. Some districts elect for a two year term, then a four year term followed by a second four year term. This 2-4-4 cyle is used in one third of the districts, one third use a 4-2-4 cycle and one third use 4-4-2. There are no term limits.
