House of Representatives
{{further|1964 Illinois House of Representatives election}}
Under the Illinois Constitution of 1870, the state representatives were elected by cumulative voting, with each voter distributing three votes among the available candidates. The Illinois House of Representatives as elected in 1964 thus contained 177 members, representing three for each of the state's 59 House districts.
However, in a nationally unprecedented event,{{Cite journal

The resulting ballot was {{convert|33|in|cm}} long. Because of the length of the ballot, the election was remembered as the "bedsheet ballot" election.
Both parties ran slates of 118 candidates.{{Cite web

}} The House had previously had a Republican majority, but in 1964 every Democratic candidate was elected, giving Democrats a two-thirds majority in the House. Representative Zeke Giorgi attributed the Democratic victory to the effect of the Democratic landslide in the presidential election. As a result, the election saw a very large number of Republican incumbents lose their seats. The election swept in 49 new Democratic representatives,{{Cite news

The members of the House represented a historically unusual proportion of Chicago-area representatives, because the at-large voting system eliminated the longstanding gerrymander in favor of downstate.{{Cite news

| quote = The new legislative districts won't change by much the Cook County-Downstate lineup in the House to be elected next year (the at-large election of all 177 representatives last year resulted in a close-to-even split between Cook County and Downstate).}} Consequently, Illinois' 1965 redistricting, which implemented the one person, one vote rule imposed by the United States Supreme Court in Reynolds v. Sims, had little effect on the subsequent balance of power in the House.
