(55 ILCS 5/6-5001) (from Ch. 34, par. 6-5001)
Sec. 6-5001.
Referendum.
For the purpose of purchasing voting
machines, the county board of any county having more than 500,000
inhabitants and in which county there has been a favorable vote on the
proposition of adopting voting machines as provided by Article 24 of "The
Election Code", as amended, may, by resolution, incur an indebtedness and
issue bonds therefor in the aggregate of not more than $500,000 in addition
to all bonded indebtedness authorized for that purpose prior to July 1, 1949.
However, no resolution providing for the issuance of bonds as authorized
by Sections 6-5001 through 6-5005 shall be effective until it has been
submitted to referendum of the electors of that county. The board shall
certify the resolution and the proposition to the proper election officials
who shall submit the proposition at an election in accordance with the
general election law. In addition to the requirements of the general
election law, notice of the referendum shall also set forth the substance of
the resolution. If a majority of those voting upon the proposition at such
referendum vote in favor of issuing such bonds, then the resolution shall
immediately become effective.
