(55 ILCS 5/6-5006) (from Ch. 34, par. 6-5006)
Sec. 6-5006.
Resolution and referendum on additional indebtedness.
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 $400,000 in addition to all bonded indebtedness authorized
for that purpose prior to July 1, 1953.
However, no resolution providing for the issuance of bonds as authorized
by Sections 6-5006 through 6-5010 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 election vote in favor of issuing such bonds, then the resolution
shall immediately become effective.
