(10 ILCS 5/4-24) (from Ch. 46, par. 4-24)
Sec. 4-24.
In the event that any city, village or incorporated town within
a county shall become subject to the authority of a board of election
commissioners, by the adoption of Articles 6, 14 and 18 of this Act, or
shall cease to be subject to the authority of such a board, by the
abandonment of said Articles, it shall not be necessary for the registered
voters in the area affected by such action to register again, either under
this Article or under Article 6 of this Act unless they are not
re-registered under the 1969 and 1970 re-registration provisions in
counties where such provisions are applicable.
This Article 4 shall immediately become effective in any area of a
county that ceases to be subject to the authority of a board of election
commissioners.
Within 24 hours after the court has entered its
order declaring Articles 6, 14 and 18 of this Act adopted by any city, village
or incorporated town or rejected by the voters of any city, village or
incorporated town, after having been in effect therein, it shall be the
duty of the board of election commissioners or of the county clerk, as the
case may be, to turn over to the officer or officers thereafter to be
charged with the registration of voters within the area affected (the
county clerk or board of election commissioners, as the case may be) the
original and duplicate registration cards of all persons affected by the
adoption or rejection of said Articles 6, 14 and 18 of this Act; and at the
same time to turn over all forms, papers and other instruments pertaining
to the registration of voters within the area affected, and all booths,
ballot boxes and election equipment formerly used in conducting elections
in such area.
The original registration cards of the voters turned over to the county
clerk or board of election commissioners, as the case may be, shall be
placed in a master file together with the registration cards of all voters
who previously registered under the provisions of this Article or of
Articles 6, 14 and 18 of this Act, as the case may be, and said cards shall
then become part of the official registration record required to be kept in
the office of the county clerk or of the board of election commissioners,
as the case may be.
The duplicate cards shall be arranged in precinct order and shall be
retained in the office of the county clerk or of the board of election
commissioners, as the case may be, for the use in conducting elections.
Such duplicate cards shall become part of the official registration record
required to be kept in the office of the county clerk or of the board of
election commissioners, as the case may be.
