Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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 5/6-43) (from Ch. 46, par. 6-43)

Sec. 6-43.

Immediately after the completion of the revision by the Board of
Election Commissioners, the board shall cause copies to be made of all
names upon the registration record cards not marked or erased, with the
address, and shall have the same arranged according to the streets,
avenues, courts, or alleys, commencing with the lowest number, and
arranging the same in order according to the street numbers, and shall then
cause such precinct register, upon such arrangement, to be printed in
plain, large type in sufficient numbers to meet all demands, and upon
application a copy of the same shall be given to any person applying
therefor. Provided, however, that in municipalities having a population of
more than 500,000 and having a Board of Election Commissioners, as to all
elections, excepting any elections held for the purpose of electing judges
of the circuit courts, registrations for which are made solely before the
Board of Election Commissioners, and where no general precinct
registrations were provided for or held within 27 days before the
election,
the Board of Election Commissioners shall cause, within 10 days after the
last day of registration before such board, copies to be made of all names
of qualified electors appearing upon each registration record card in like
manner as hereinabove provided, and upon application a copy of the same
shall be given to any person applying therefor: Provided, further, that
whenever an election is held within 90 days after a preceding election, or
when any elections are held for the purpose of electing judges of the
circuit courts, the printed list and the supplement thereto provided for
the last preceding election shall constitute the Printed Precinct Register
for the ensuing election, subject to such changes as shall be made, if any,
as herein provided, which changes, if any, and the contents of any
supplemental list, insofar as the latter have not been changed pursuant to
this Act, shall be printed in a new supplemental list which shall supplant
the prior supplemental list and shall be delivered to the judges of the
respective precincts, with the printed register and the certification, in
the manner and at the time provided in Sections 6-48 and 6-60 of this
Article. Such list shall have printed on the bottom thereof the facsimile
signatures of the members of the Board of Election Commissioners certifying
that the names on the list are the names of all voters entitled to vote in
the precinct indicated on the top thereof. Such list shall be termed the
"Printed Precinct Register" and shall be prima facie evidence that the
electors whose names appear thereon are entitled to vote. Provided that if,
on order of the Board of Election Commissioners a corrected or revised
precinct register of voters in a precinct or precincts is printed, such
list or lists shall have printed thereon the day and month of such revision
and shall be designated "Revised Precinct Register of Voters."

Any elector whose name does not appear as a registered voter on such
printed precinct register, supplemental list or any list provided for in
this Article and whose name has not been erased or withdrawn shall be
entitled to vote as hereinafter in this Article provided if his
registration card is in the master file. Such elector shall within 7 days
after the publication of such printed precinct register, file with the
Board of Election Commissioners an application stating that he is a duly
registered voter and that his registration card is in the master file. The
Board shall hold a hearing upon such application within 2 days after the
filing thereof and shall announce its decision thereon within 3 days after
the hearing. If the name of such applicant appears upon the registration
card in the master file, the board shall issue to such elector a
certificate setting forth that his name does so appear and certifying that
he has the right to vote at the next succeeding election. Such certificate
shall be issued in duplicate, one to be retained in the files of the board,
and the other to be issued to the elector.

The Board of Election Commissioners upon the issuance of such
certificate shall see that the name of such elector appears upon the
precinct registry list in the precinct.
