The 3rd Illinois General Assembly, consisting of the Illinois Senate and the Illinois House of Representatives, met from December 2, 1822, to February 18, 1823, during the first two years of Edward Coles' governorship, at The Vandalia State House. The apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives was based on the provisions of the First Illinois Constitution. Political parties were not established in the State at the time.
The 3rd General Assembly was preceded by the 2nd Illinois General Assembly, and was succeeded by the 4th Illinois General Assembly.
Members[edit]
This list is arranged by chamber, then by county. Senators and Representatives were both allotted to counties roughly by population and elected at-large within their districts. Greene and White counties shared one senator.
