Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(10 ILCS 5/4-6) (from Ch. 46, par. 4-6)
Sec. 4-6.
For the purpose of registering voters under this Article in
addition to the method provided for precinct registration under Section
4-7, the office of the county clerk shall be open every day, except Saturday,
Sunday, and legal holidays, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. On Saturdays the
hours of registration shall be from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, and such
additional hours as the county clerk may designate. If, however, the county
board otherwise duly regulates and fixes the hours of opening and closing
of all county offices at the county seat of any county, such regulation
shall control and supersede the hours herein specified. There shall be no
registration at the office of the county clerk or at the office of municipal
and township or road district clerks serving as deputy
registrars during the 27 days preceding any regular or
special election at which the cards provided in this Article are used, or
until the 2nd day following such regular or special election;
provided, that if by reason of the proximity of any such elections to one
another the effect of this provision would be to close registrations for
all or any part of the 10 days immediately prior to such 27 day
period, the
county clerk shall accept, solely for use in the subsequent and not in any
intervening election, registrations and transfers of registration within
the period from the 27th to the 38th days, both inclusive, prior
to such
subsequent election. In any election called for
the submission of the revision or alteration of, or the amendments to the
Constitution, submitted by a Constitutional Convention, the final day for
registration at the office of the election authority charged with the
printing of the ballot of this election shall be the 15th day prior to the
date of election.
Any qualified person residing within the county or any portion thereof
subject to this Article may register or re-register with the county clerk.
Each county clerk shall appoint one or more registration or
re-registration teams for the purpose of accepting the registration or
re-registration of any voter who files an affidavit that he is physically
unable to appear at any appointed place of registration or re-registration.
Each team shall consist of one member of each political party having the
highest and second highest number of registered voters in the county. The
county clerk shall designate a team to visit each person with a disability and shall
accept the registration or re-registration of each such person as if he had
applied for registration or re-registration at the office of the county
clerk.
As used in this Article, "deputy registrars" and "registration
officers" mean any
person authorized to accept registrations of electors under this Article.
