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 5/6-50) (from Ch. 46, par. 6-50)
Sec. 6-50.
The office of the board of election commissioners shall be open
during ordinary business hours of each week day, from 9 a.m. to 12 o'clock noon
on the last four Saturdays immediately preceding the end of the period of
registration
preceding each election, and such other days and
such other times as the board may direct.
There shall be no registration at the office
of the board of election commissioners in cities, villages and incorporated
towns of fewer than 200,000 inhabitants during the 27 days preceding
any
primary, regular or special election at which the cards provided for in
this article are used, or until the second day following such primary,
regular or special election. In cities, villages and incorporated towns of
200,000 or more inhabitants, there shall be no registration of voters at
the office of the board of election commissioners during the 35 days
immediately preceding any election; provided, however, where no precinct
registration is being conducted prior to any election then registration may
be taken in the office of the board up to and including the 28th
day prior
to such 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.
The Board of Election Commissioners shall appoint one or more
registration teams, each consisting of one member from each of the 2
leading political parties, for the purpose of accepting the registration of
any voter who files an affidavit, within the period for taking
registrations provided for in this Article, that he is physically unable to
appear at the office of the Board or at any appointed place of
registration. On the day or days when a precinct registration is being
conducted such teams shall consist of one member from each of the 2 leading
political parties who are serving on the precinct registration board. Each
team so designated shall visit each person with a disability and shall accept the
registration of such person the same as if he had applied for registration
in person.
The office of the board of election commissioners may be designated as a
place of registration under Section 6-51 of this Article and, if so
designated, may also be open for purposes of registration on such day or
days as may be specified by the board of election commissioners under the
provisions of that Section.
