    (10 ILCS 5/10-6) (from Ch. 46, par. 10-6)
    Sec.   10-6.  Time  and  manner  of  filing.   Except  as
provided in Section  10-3,  certificates  of  nomination  and
nomination  papers  for  the  nomination  of  candidates  for
offices  to be filled by electors of the entire State, or any
district not entirely within a county, or for  congressional,
state  legislative or judicial offices, shall be presented to
the principal office of the State Board of Elections not more
than 141 99 nor less than 134 92 days previous to the day  of
election  for  which the candidates are nominated.  The State
Board  of  Elections  shall  endorse  the   certificates   of
nomination  or nomination papers, as the case may be, and the
date and hour of  presentment  to  it.  Except  as  otherwise
provided  in  this  section,  all  other certificates for the
nomination of candidates shall be filed with the county clerk
of the respective counties not more than 141 99 but at  least
134   92   days   previous  to  the  day  of  such  election.
Certificates of nomination  and  nomination  papers  for  the
nomination   of  candidates  for  the  offices  of  political
subdivisions to be filled at regular elections other than the
general election shall  be  filed  with  the  local  election
official of such subdivision:
    (1)  (Blank);
    (2)  not  more than 78 nor less than 71 days prior to the
consolidated election; or
    (3)  not more than 78 nor less than 71 days prior to  the

at the general primary election; or
    (4)  not  more  than  78 nor less than 71 days before the
consolidated primary in the case of municipal offices  to  be
elected  on  a  nonpartisan  basis pursuant to law (including
without  limitation,  those  municipal  offices  subject   to
Articles 4 and 5 of the Municipal Code); or
    (5)  not  more  than  78 nor less than 71 days before the
municipal primary in even numbered years for such nonpartisan
municipal offices where annual elections are provided; or
    (6)  in  the  case  of  petitions  for  the   office   of
multi-township  assessor,  such petitions shall be filed with
the election authority not more than 78 nor less than 71 days

a municipal board of election commissioners, the certificates
of nomination and nomination papers for candidates  for  such
political subdivision offices shall be filed in the office of
such Board.
