1960 Illinois Gubernatorial Election
The 1960 Illinois gubernatorial election was held in Illinois on November 8, 1960. Incumbent Governor William Stratton, a Republican seeking a third term, lost reelection to Democrat Otto Kerner Jr. Election information The primaries and general election both coincided with those for federal offices (United States President, House, and United States Senate) and those for other state offices.
