Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
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 5/6-39) (from Ch. 46, par. 6-39)
Sec. 6-39.
Upon the Wednesday and Thursday following the last day of
registration, and upon the Wednesday and Thursday following the last day of
precinct registration provided for in Section 6-49.1 of this Article, if
so much time is required, the 2 deputy registrars shall go together and
canvass the precinct for which they have been appointed, calling at each
dwelling place or each house from which any one is registered in such
precinct and each dwelling place as indicated upon said "Verification
Lists"; and if they shall find that any person whose name appears upon
their verification lists does not reside at the place designated thereupon,
they shall make a notation in the column headed "Remarks" as follows:
"Changed Name"; "Died", or "Moved", as the case may be, indicating that
such person does not reside at such place.
Whenever deemed necessary by the canvassers, or either of them, he or
they may demand of the person having command of the police in such precinct
to furnish a policeman, to accompany them and protect them in the
performance of their duties; and it shall be the duty of the person having
command of the police in such precinct to furnish a policeman for such
purpose. In such canvass no person shall refuse to answer questions and
give the information asked for and known to him or her, or shall knowingly
give false information, or make false statements. In making such canvass
the canvassers shall make special inquiry at the residence or place
designated on the verification lists, as to all the persons registered as
qualified voters, and shall receive information from judges of election,
party canvassers, or other persons.
