(10 ILCS 5/24A-3.1) (from Ch. 46, par. 24A-3.1)
Sec. 24A-3.1.
When an electronic voting system is used, the County
Board or Board of Election Commissioners
may retain existing precincts or may consolidate, combine, alter,
decrease or enlarge the boundaries of the precincts so as to change the
number of registered voters of the precincts using the electronic voting
system, establishing the number of registered voters within each
precinct at such number not to exceed 800 as the appropriate County
Board or Board of Election Commissioners,
determines will afford adequate voting facilities and efficient
and economical elections.
Except in the event of a fire, flood or total loss of heat in a place
fixed or established pursuant to law by any County Board or Board of
Election Commissioners as
a polling place for an election, no election authority shall change the
location of a polling place so established for any precinct after notice of
the place of holding the election for that precinct has been given as
required under Article 12 unless the election authority notifies all
registered voters in the precinct of the change in location by first class
mail in sufficient time for such notice to be received by the registered
voters in the precinct at least one day prior to the date of the election.
