Gubernatorial elections were held in Illinois in November 1976. Incumbent Governor lost renomination in favor of Secretary of State Michael J. Howlett who was a Daley ally. Howlett then lost the general election to Republican James R. Thompson. This election was for a two-year term which would synchronize future gubernatorial elections with midterm election years rather than presidential election years.
