Sec. 24C-3.1.
Retention or consolidation or alteration of
existing precincts; Change of location. When a Direct Recording
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 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.
