Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
10 ILCS 5/6A-1
(10 ILCS 5/6A-1) (from Ch. 46, par. 6A-1)
Sec. 6A-1.
(a) Any county in which there is no city, village or incorporated town
with a board of election commissioners may establish a county board of
election commissioners either (1) by ordinance of the county board or
(2) by vote of the electors of the county in accordance with subsection (a) of Section
6A-2.
The fact that some territory in a county is within the corporate
limits of a city, village or incorporated town with a board of election
commissioners does not prevent that county from establishing a county
board of election commissioners in accordance with this Article if no
portion of such city, village or incorporated town was within the county
at the time of the establishment of the board of election commissioners
for such city, village or incorporated town. If such a county
establishes a county board of election commissioners pursuant to this
Article, the county board of election commissioners shall, with respect
to the territory in the county within the corporate limits of the city,
village or incorporated town, supersede the board of election
commissioners of that city, village or incorporated town.
(b) Any county with a population of more than 700,000 persons as of the 2010 federal decennial census that borders another state and borders no more than 2 other Illinois counties, shall be subject to a county board of election commissioners beginning 90 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly. (c) Any county with a population of less than 200,000 but more than 175,000 persons as of the 2010 federal decennial census in which a city, village, or incorporated town with a board of election commissioners is located may establish a county board of election commissioners by vote of the electors of the county in accordance with subsection (b) of Section 6A-2. If such a county establishes a county board of election commissioners, the county board of election commissioners, with respect to the territory in the county within the corporate limits of the city, village, or incorporated town, shall supersede the board of election commissioners of that city, village, or incorporated town.
