At least 2 weeks prior to the general 10 November election in each even numbered year and the 11 consolidated election in each odd-numbered year the county 12 clerk shall cause a list to be made for each precinct of all 13 names upon the registration record cards not marked or 14 erased, in alphabetical order, with the address, provided, 15 that such list may be arranged geographically, by street and 16 number, in numerical order, with respect to all precincts in 17 which all, or substantially all residences of voters therein 18 shall be located upon and numbered along streets, avenues, 19 courts, or other highways which are either named or numbered, 20 upon direction either of the county board or of the circuit 21 court. On the list, the county clerk shall indicate, by 22 italics, asterisk, or other means, the names of all persons 23 who have registered since the last regularly scheduled 24 election in the consolidated schedule of elections 25 established in Section 2A-1.1 of this Act. The county clerk 26 shall cause such precinct lists to be printed or typed in 27 sufficient numbers to meet all reasonable demands, and upon 28 application a copy of the same shall be given to any person 29 applying therefor. By such time, the county clerk shall give 30 the precinct lists to the chairman of a county central 31 committee of an established political party, as such party is -2- LRB9206297MWpr 1 defined in Section 10-2 of this Act, or to the chairman's 2 duly authorized representative.

(a) Primary elections shall be held on the 3 dates prescribed in Article 2A. 4 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other statute, 5 no primary shall be held for an established political party 6 in any township, municipality, or ward thereof, where the 7 nomination of such party for every office to be voted upon by 8 the electors of such township, municipality, or ward thereof, 9 is uncontested. Whenever a political party's nomination of 10 candidates is uncontested as to one or more, but not all, of 11 the offices to be voted upon by the electors of a township, 12 municipality, or ward thereof, then a primary shall be held 13 for that party in such township, municipality, or ward 14 thereof; provided that the primary ballot shall not include 15 those offices within such township, municipality, or ward 16 thereof, for which the nomination is uncontested. For 17 purposes of this Article, the nomination of an established 18 political party of a candidate for election to an office 19 shall be deemed to be uncontested where not more than the 20 number of persons to be nominated have timely filed valid 21 nomination papers seeking the nomination of such party for 22 election to such office. 23 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other statute, 24 no primary election shall be held for an established 25 political party for any special primary election called for 26 the purpose of filling a vacancy in the office of 27 representative in the United States Congress where the 28 nomination of such political party for said office is 29 uncontested.

This subsection (c) shall not apply if such primary 2 election is conducted on a regularly scheduled election day. 3 (d) Notwithstanding the provisions in subsection (b) and 4 (c) of this Section whenever a person who has not timely 5 filed valid nomination papers and who intends to become a 6 write-in candidate for a political party's nomination for any 7 office for which the nomination is uncontested files a 8 written statement or notice of that intent with the State 9 Board of Elections or the local election official with whom 10 nomination papers for such office are filed, a primary ballot 11 shall be prepared and a primary shall be held for that 12 office.

In counties not under township organization, 30 the county board of commissioners shall at its meeting in May 31 in each even-numbered year appoint in each election precinct 32 5 capable and discreet persons meeting the qualifications of -7- LRB9206297MWpr 1 Section 13-4 to be judges of election. Where neither voting 2 machines nor electronic, mechanical or electric voting 3 systems are used, the county board may, for any precinct with 4 respect to which the board considers such action necessary or 5 desirable in view of the number of voters, and shall for 6 general elections for any precinct containing more than 600 7 registered voters, appoint in addition to the 5 judges of 8 election a team of 5 tally judges. In such precincts the 9 judges of election shall preside over the election during the 10 hours the polls are open, and the tally judges, with the 11 assistance of the holdover judges designated pursuant to 12 Section 13-6.2, shall count the vote after the closing of the 13 polls. However, the County Board of Commissioners may appoint 14 3 judges of election to serve in lieu of the 5 judges of 15 election otherwise required by this Section to serve in any 16 emergency referendum, or in any odd-year regular election or 17 in any special primary or special election called for the 18 purpose of filling a vacancy in the office of representative 19 in the United States Congress or to nominate candidates for 20 such purpose. If a general primary election is conducted 21 under Article 19A, the County Board of Commissioners shall 22 appoint a team of 5 tally judges to serve in lieu of the 5 23 judges of election otherwise required by this Section. The 24 tally judges shall possess the same qualifications and shall 25 be appointed in the same manner and with the same division 26 between political parties as is provided for judges of 27 election. 28 In addition to such precinct judges, the county board of 29 commissioners shall appoint special panels of 3 judges each, 30 who shall possess the same qualifications and shall be 31 appointed in the same manner and with the same division 32 between political parties as is provided for other judges of 33 election.

No more than 3 7 persons of the same political party shall be appointed judges 8 of the same election precinct or election judge panel. The 9 appointment shall be made in the following manner: The county 10 board of commissioners shall select and approve 3 persons as 11 judges of election in each election precinct from a certified 12 list, furnished by the chairman of the County Central 13 Committee of the first leading political party in such 14 precinct; and the county board of commissioners shall also 15 select and approve 2 persons as judges of election in each 16 election precinct from a certified list, furnished by the 17 chairman of the County Central Committee of the second 18 leading political party. However, if only 3 judges of 19 election serve in each election precinct, no more than 2 20 persons of the same political party shall be judges of 21 election in the same election precinct; and which political 22 party is entitled to 2 judges of election and which political 23 party is entitled to one judge of election shall be 24 determined in the same manner as set forth in the next two 25 preceding sentences with regard to 5 election judges in each 26 precinct. Such certified list shall be filed with the county 27 clerk not less than 10 days before the annual meeting of the 28 county board of commissioners. Such list shall be arranged 29 according to precincts. The chairman of each county central 30 committee shall, insofar as possible, list persons who reside 31 within the precinct in which they are to serve as judges. 32 However, he may, in his sole discretion, submit the names of 33 persons who reside outside the precinct but within the county 34 embracing the precinct in which they are to serve.

The county board of commissioners shall acknowledge 6 in writing to each county chairman the names of all persons 7 submitted on such certified list and the total number of 8 persons listed thereon. If no such list is filed or such list 9 is incomplete (that is, no names or an insufficient number of 10 names are furnished for certain election precincts), the 11 county board of commissioners shall make or complete such 12 list from the names contained in the supplemental list 13 provided for in Section 13-1.1. The election judges shall 14 hold their office for 2 years from their appointment, and 15 until their successors are duly appointed in the manner 16 provided in this Act. The county board of commissioners shall 17 fill all vacancies in the office of judge of election at any 18 time in the manner provided in this Act. 19 (Source: P.A. 91-352, eff. 1-1-00.) 20 (10 ILCS 5/13-2) (from Ch. 46, par. 13-2) 21 Sec. 13-2. In counties under the township organization 22 the county board shall at its meeting in May in each 23 even-numbered year except in counties containing a population 24 of 3,000,000 inhabitants or over and except when such judges 25 are appointed by election commissioners, select in each 26 election precinct in the county, 5 capable and discreet 27 persons to be judges of election who shall possess the 28 qualifications required by this Act for such judges. Where 29 neither voting machines nor electronic, mechanical or 30 electric voting systems are used, the county board may, for 31 any precinct with respect to which the board considers such 32 action necessary or desirable in view of the number of 33 voters, and shall for general elections for any precinct -10- LRB9206297MWpr 1 containing more than 600 registered voters, appoint in 2 addition to the 5 judges of election a team of 5 tally 3 judges. In such precincts the judges of election shall 4 preside over the election during the hours the polls are 5 open, and the tally judges, with the assistance of the 6 holdover judges designated pursuant to Section 13-6.2, shall 7 count the vote after the closing of the polls. The tally 8 judges shall possess the same qualifications and shall be 9 appointed in the same manner and with the same division 10 between political parties as is provided for judges of 11 election. 12 However, the county board may appoint 3 judges of 13 election to serve in lieu of the 5 judges of election 14 otherwise required by this Section to serve in any emergency 15 referendum, or in any odd-year regular election or in any 16 special primary or special election called for the purpose of 17 filling a vacancy in the office of representative in the 18 United States Congress or to nominate candidates for such 19 purpose. 20 If a general primary election is conducted under Article 21 19A, the county board shall appoint a team of 5 tally judges 22 to serve in lieu of the 5 judges of election otherwise 23 required by this Section. 24 In addition to such precinct judges, the county board 25 shall appoint special panels of 3 judges each, who shall 26 possess the same qualifications and shall be appointed in the 27 same manner and with the same division between political 28 parties as is provided for other judges of election. The 29 number of such panels of judges required shall be determined 30 by regulations of the State Board of Elections, which shall 31 base the required number of special panels on the number of 32 registered voters in the jurisdiction or the number of 33 absentee ballots voted at recent elections or any combination 34 of such factors. -11- LRB9206297MWpr 1 No more than 3 persons of the same political party shall 2 be appointed judges in the same election district or 3 undivided precinct. The election of the judges of election in 4 the various election precincts shall be made in the following 5 manner: The county board shall select and approve 3 of the 6 election judges in each precinct from a certified list 7 furnished by the chairman of the County Central Committee of 8 the first leading political party in such election precinct 9 and shall also select and approve 2 judges of election in 10 each election precinct from a certified list furnished by the 11 chairman of the County Central Committee of the second 12 leading political party in such election precinct. However, 13 if only 3 judges of election serve in each election precinct, 14 no more than 2 persons of the same political party shall be 15 judges of election in the same election precinct; and which 16 political party is entitled to 2 judges of election and which 17 political party is entitled to one judge of election shall be 18 determined in the same manner as set forth in the next two 19 preceding sentences with regard to 5 election judges in each 20 precinct. The respective County Central Committee chairman 21 shall notify the county board by June 1 of each odd-numbered 22 year immediately preceding the annual meeting of the county 23 board whether or not such certified list will be filed by 24 such chairman. Such list shall be arranged according to 25 precincts. The chairman of each county central committee 26 shall, insofar as possible, list persons who reside within 27 the precinct in which they are to serve as judges. However, 28 he may, in his sole discretion, submit the names of persons 29 who reside outside the precinct but within the county 30 embracing the precinct in which they are to serve. He must, 31 however, submit the names of at least 2 residents of the 32 precinct for each precinct in which his party is to have 3 33 judges and must submit the name of at least one resident of 34 the precinct for each precinct in which his party is to have -12- LRB9206297MWpr 1 2 judges.

The county board shall 4 acknowledge in writing to each county chairman the names of 5 all persons submitted on such certified list and the total 6 number of persons listed thereon. If no such list is filed or 7 the list is incomplete (that is, no names or an insufficient 8 number of names are furnished for certain election 9 precincts), the county board shall make or complete such list 10 from the names contained in the supplemental list provided 11 for in Section 13-1.1. Provided, further, that in any case 12 where a township has been or shall be redistricted, in whole 13 or in part, subsequent to one general election for Governor, 14 and prior to the next, the judges of election to be selected 15 for all new or altered precincts shall be selected in that 16 one of the methods above detailed, which shall be applicable 17 according to the facts and circumstances of the particular 18 case, but the majority of such judges for each such precinct 19 shall be selected from the first leading political party, and 20 the minority judges from the second leading political party. 21 Provided, further, that in counties having a population of 22 1,000,000 inhabitants or over the selection of judges of 23 election shall be made in the same manner in all respects as 24 in other counties, except that the provisions relating to 25 tally judges are inapplicable to such counties and except 26 that the county board shall meet during the month of January 27 for the purpose of making such selection and the chairman of 28 each county central committee shall notify the county board 29 by the preceding October 1 whether or not the certified list 30 will be filed. Such judges of election shall hold their 31 office for 2 years from their appointment and until their 32 successors are duly appointed in the manner provided in this 33 Act. The county board shall fill all vacancies in the office 34 of judges of elections at any time in the manner herein -13- LRB9206297MWpr 1 provided. 2 Such selections under this Section shall be confirmed by 3 the circuit court as provided in Section 13-3 of this 4 Article. 5 (Source: P.A. 91-352, eff. 1-1-00.) 6 (10 ILCS 5/14-1) (from Ch. 46, par. 14-1) 7 Sec. 14-1.

The board of election commissioners shall, 22 during the month of May of each even-numbered year, select 23 for each election precinct within the jurisdiction of the 24 board 5 persons to be judges of election who shall possess 25 the qualifications required by this Act for such judges.
