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.

105 ILCS 5/5-2.1

(105 ILCS 5/5-2.1) (from Ch. 122, par. 5-2.1)

Sec. 5-2.1. Eligible Voters:

For the purposes of this Article persons
who are qualified to vote in school elections shall be eligible to vote
for the trustees of schools who have jurisdiction over the elementary school
district  or unit school district in which the person resides.

If the application of this Section results in an elector
voting for trustees of a school township in which he does not reside
because the elementary or unit school district crosses township boundaries
and has been assigned to the jurisdiction of the trustees of an adjoining
township, that elector shall also be eligible to vote for the trustees of
the township within which he resides. Moreover, an elector who resides in a high school district that crosses township boundaries and has been assigned to the jurisdiction of the trustees of an adjoining township shall be eligible to vote for both the trustees of the township in which he or she resides and the trustees of the township having jurisdiction over the high school district in which he or she resides.
