In Illinois, a governor can serve an unlimited number of terms. Illinois is one of 13 states that does not impose any term limits on the office of governor. The term of office for a governor in Illinois is four years, and there is no legal restriction on how many times a person can be re-elected to this position. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has announced plans to run for a third term, which is possible because the state has no gubernatorial term limits. This means a governor in Illinois can theoretically serve indefinitely as long as they keep getting re-elected.
