Sec. 24B-3.1.
Retention or consolidation or alteration of
existing precincts; Change of location. When a Precinct
Tabulation Optical Scan Technology 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 to
change the number of registered voters of the precincts using the
electronic Precinct Tabulation Optical Scan Technology voting
system, establishing the number of registered voters within each
precinct at a 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 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 the notice to be
received by the registered voters in the precinct at least one
day prior to the date of the election.
