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.

In each year, the board shall conduct a regular election, under rules

a career service ordinance. At any such election including the
initial election and special elections to fill vacancies in such office,
all persons who are employee participants at the time such election is
held, shall have a right to vote. The ballot shall be of secret
character.

Any elective member of the board shall hold office until his
successor is elected and qualified.

Any person elected or appointed as a member of the board shall
qualify by taking an oath of office to be administered by the city
clerk. A copy thereof shall be kept in the office of the city clerk.
