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.
(65 ILCS 5/5-2-19) (from Ch. 24, par. 5-2-19)
Sec. 5-2-19. In any city which was operating under the alderperson form
of government as provided in Article 3 at the time of adoption of this Article
5 which did not also elect to continue to choose alderpersons from wards, the
city clerk and city treasurer shall be nominated and elected in the same
manner as provided in this Article 5 for the nomination and election of
the mayor and councilmen. To achieve this result: wherever the term "mayor
or commissioners" appears in Sections 4-3-7 through 4-3-18, it shall be
construed to include the words "or clerk or treasurer". The names of candidates
for nomination shall be placed on the primary election ballot prescribed
in Section 5-2-13 and such ballot shall be modified to include the heading
"For Clerk--Vote for one" immediately following the names of candidates
for councilmen and to include the heading "For Treasurer--Vote for one"
immediately following the names of candidates for clerk. The names of the
4
candidates receiving the highest number of votes for each of the respective
offices shall be placed on the general municipal election ballot
prescribed in Section 5-2-13 which ballot shall be modified to include
such offices and names in the same manner as is provided in this Section
for the primary ballot. If any candidate nominated for the office of
clerk or treasurer dies or withdraws before the general municipal
election the name of the person receiving the fifth
highest number of
votes for nomination to that office shall be placed on the ballot for
that election.
However, in any city not exceeding 100,000 inhabitants which adopts this
Article 5 and elects a mayor and alderpersons or councilmen as provided in Section 5-2-12,
or Sections 5-2-18 through 5-2-18.8, the council may, in lieu of electing
a clerk and treasurer as provided in the above paragraph, provide by ordinance
that the clerk or treasurer or both for such city be appointed by the mayor
with the approval of the city council. If such officers are appointed their
terms of office, duties, compensation and amount of bond required shall
be the same as if they were elected.
