(10 ILCS 5/6-1) (from Ch. 46, par. 6-1)
Sec. 6-1.
The provisions of this Article 6 (and of Articles 14 and 18
hereof) so far as they are the same as those of the provisions of "An Act
regulating the holding of elections and declaring the result thereof in
cities, villages and incorporated towns in this state", approved June 19,
1885, as amended, (hereinafter sometimes referred to in this Article as
the Act of 1885) shall be construed as a continuation of such prior
provisions and not as a new enactment; and it is declared to be the
legislative intent that any city, village or incorporated town which has
heretofore adopted and become entitled to the provisions of said Act of
1885, shall automatically become subject to the provisions of this Article
6 and Articles 14 and 18 of this Act (as well as certain sections in other
articles which are made specifically applicable to such city, village or
incorporated town), which three articles together shall be known as the
City Election Law.
