Sec. 10-6.2.
The State Board of Elections, the election authority or
the local election official with whom petitions for nomination are filed
pursuant to this Article 10 shall specify the place where filings shall
be made and upon receipt shall endorse thereon the day and the hour at
which each petition was filed. Except as provided by Article 9 of The
School Code, all petitions filed by persons waiting
in line as of 8:00 a.m. on the first day for filing, or as of the normal
opening hour of the office involved on such day, shall be deemed filed
as of 8:00 a.m. or the normal opening hour, as the case may be.
Petitions filed by mail and received after midnight of the first day for
filing and in the first mail delivery or pickup of that day shall be
deemed filed as of 8:00 a.m. of that day or as of the normal opening
hour of such day, as the case may be. All petitions received thereafter
shall be deemed filed in the order of actual receipt. However, 2 or more petitions filed within the last hour of the filing deadline shall be deemed filed simultaneously. Where 2 or more
petitions are received simultaneously, the State Board of Elections, the
election authority or the local election official with whom such
petitions are filed shall break ties and determine the order of filing
by means of a lottery or other fair and impartial method of random
selection approved by the State Board of Elections. Such lottery shall
be conducted within 9 days following the last day for petition filing and shall
be open to the public. Seven days written notice of the time and place of
conducting such random selection shall be given, by the State Board of
Elections, the election authority, or local election official, to the Chair
of each political party, and to each organization of citizens within the
election jurisdiction which was entitled, under this Code, at the next
preceding election, to have pollwatchers present on the day of election. The
State Board of Elections, the election authority or local election official
shall post in a conspicuous, open and public place, at the entrance of the
office, notice of the time and place of such lottery. The State Board of
Elections shall adopt rules and regulations governing the procedures for
the conduct of such lottery. All candidates shall be
certified in the order in which their petitions have been filed and in the
manner prescribed by Section 10-14 and 10-15 of this Article. Where
candidates have filed simultaneously, they shall be certified in the order
determined by lot and prior to candidates who filed for the same office or
offices at a later time. Certificates of nomination filed within the
period prescribed in Section 10-6(2) for candidates nominated by caucus for
township or municipal offices shall be subject to the ballot placement
lottery for established political parties prescribed in Section 7-60 of
this Code.
If multiple sets of nomination papers are filed for a candidate to
the same office, the State Board of Elections, appropriate election
authority or local election official where the petitions are filed shall
within 2 business days notify the candidate of his or her multiple petition
filings and that the candidate has 3 business days after receipt of the notice
to notify the State Board of Elections, appropriate election authority or local
election official that he or she may cancel prior sets of petitions. If the
candidate notifies the State Board of Elections, appropriate election authority
or local election official, the last set of petitions filed shall be the only
petitions to be considered valid by the State Board of Elections, election
authority or local election official. If the candidate fails to notify the
State Board of Elections, appropriate election authority or local election
official then only the first set of petitions filed shall be valid and all
subsequent petitions shall be void.

Sec. 10-7.
Except as otherwise provided in this Code, any person whose name has been presented as a candidate, including nonpartisan and independent candidates,
may cause his name to be withdrawn from any such nomination by his
request in writing, signed by him and duly acknowledged before an
officer qualified to take acknowledgment of deeds, and presented to the
principal office or permanent branch office of the Board, the election
authority, or the local election official, as the case may be, not later
than the date for certification of candidates for the ballot. No name so
withdrawn shall be printed upon the ballots under the party appellation or
title from which the candidate has withdrawn his name. If such a request for withdrawal is received after the date for certification of the candidates for the ballot, then the votes cast for the withdrawn candidate are invalid and shall not be reported by the election authority. If the name of the
same person has been presented as a candidate for 2 or more offices which
are incompatible so that the same person could not serve in more than one
of such offices if elected, that person must withdraw as a candidate for
all but one of such offices within the 5 business days following the last
day for petition filing. If he fails to withdraw as a candidate for all
but one of such offices within such time, his name shall not be certified,
nor printed on the ballot, for any office. However, nothing in this Section
shall be construed as precluding a judge who is seeking retention in office
from also being a candidate for another judicial office. Except as
otherwise herein provided, in case the certificate of nomination or
petition as provided for in this Article shall contain or exhibit the name
of any candidate for any office upon more than one of said certificates or
petitions (for the same office), then and in that case the Board or
election authority or local election official, as the case may be, shall
immediately notify said candidate of said fact and that his name appears
unlawfully upon more than one of said certificates or petitions and that
within 3 days from the receipt of said notification, said candidate must
elect as to which of said political party appellations or groups he desires
his name to appear and remain under upon said ballot, and if said candidate
refuses, fails or neglects to make such election, then and in that case the
Board or election authority or local election official, as the case may be,
shall permit the name of said candidate to appear or be printed or placed
upon said ballot only under the political party appellation or group
appearing on the certificate of nomination or petition, as the case may be,
first filed, and shall strike or cause to be stricken the name of said
candidate from all certificates of nomination and petitions
filed after the first such certificate of nomination or petition.
Whenever the name of a candidate for an office is withdrawn from a new
political party petition, it shall constitute a vacancy in nomination for
that office which may be filled in accordance with Section 10-11 of this
Article; provided, that if the names of all candidates for all offices on
a new political party petition are withdrawn or such petition is declared
invalid by an electoral board or upon judicial review, no vacancies in
nomination for those offices shall exist and the filing of any notice or
resolution purporting to fill vacancies in nomination shall have no legal effect.
Whenever the name of an independent candidate for an office is withdrawn
or an independent candidate's petition is declared invalid by an electoral
board or upon judicial review, no vacancy in nomination for that office
shall exist and the filing of any notice or resolution purporting to fill
a vacancy in nomination shall have no legal effect.
All certificates of nomination and nomination papers when presented or
filed shall be open, under proper regulation, to public inspection, and the
State Board of Elections and the several election authorities and local
election officials having charge of nomination papers shall preserve the
same in their respective offices not less than 6 months.

(10 ILCS 5/10-10) (from Ch. 46, par. 10-10)
Sec. 10-10. Within 24 hours after the receipt of the certificate of
nomination or nomination papers or proposed question of public
policy, as the case may be, and the objector's petition, the chair
of the electoral board other than the State Board of Elections shall
send a call by registered or certified mail: to each of the members of the
electoral board; to the objector who filed the objector's petition;
either to the candidate whose certificate of nomination or nomination
papers are objected to or to the principal proponent or attorney for
proponents of a question of public policy, as the case may be, whose
petitions are objected to; to the election authority to whom the ballot is certified; and to the appropriate county clerk. The chair
of the electoral board other than the State Board of Elections shall also cause the sheriff of the county
or counties in which such officers and persons reside to serve a copy of
such call upon each of such officers and persons, which call shall set out
the fact that the electoral board is required to meet to hear and pass upon
the objections to nominations made for the office, designating it, and
shall state the day, hour and place at which the electoral board shall meet
for the purpose, which place shall be in the
county court house in the county in the case of the County Officers
Electoral Board, the Municipal Officers Electoral Board, the Township
Officers Electoral Board or the Education Officers Electoral Board, except that the Municipal Officers Electoral Board, the Township Officers Electoral Board, and the Education Officers Electoral Board may meet at the location where the governing body of the municipality, township, or community college district, respectively, holds its regularly scheduled meetings, if that location is available; provided that voter records may be removed from the offices of an election authority only at the discretion and under the supervision of the election authority.
In
those cases where the State Board of Elections is the electoral board
designated under Section 10-9, the chair of the State Board of Elections
shall, within 24 hours after the receipt of the certificate of nomination
or nomination papers or petitions for a proposed amendment to Article IV of
the Constitution or proposed statewide question of public policy, send a
call by registered or certified mail to the objector who files the
objector's petition, and either to the candidate whose certificate of
nomination or nomination papers are objected to or to the principal
proponent or attorney for proponents of the proposed Constitutional
amendment or statewide question of public policy and shall state the day,
hour, and place at which the electoral board shall meet for the purpose,
which place may be in the Capitol Building or in the principal or permanent
branch office of the State Board. The day of the meeting shall not be less
than 3 nor more than 5 days after the receipt of the certificate of
nomination or nomination papers and the objector's petition by the chair
of the electoral board.
The electoral board shall have the power to administer oaths and to
subpoena and examine witnesses and, at the request of either party and only upon a vote by a majority of its members, may authorize the chair
to issue subpoenas requiring the attendance of witnesses and
subpoenas duces tecum requiring the production of such books, papers,
records and documents as may be evidence of any matter under inquiry
before the electoral board, in the same manner as witnesses are
subpoenaed in the Circuit Court.
Service of such subpoenas shall be made by any sheriff or other
person in the same manner as in cases in such court and the fees of such
sheriff shall be the same as is provided by law, and shall be paid by
the objector or candidate who causes the issuance of the subpoena. In
case any person so served shall knowingly neglect or refuse to obey any
such subpoena, or to testify, the electoral board shall at once file a
petition in the circuit court of the county in which such hearing is to
be heard, or has been attempted to be heard, setting forth the facts, of
such knowing refusal or neglect, and accompanying the petition with a
copy of the citation and the answer, if one has been filed, together
with a copy of the subpoena and the return of service thereon, and shall
apply for an order of court requiring such person to attend and testify,
and forthwith produce books and papers, before the electoral board. Any
circuit court of the state, excluding the judge who is sitting on the electoral
board, upon such showing shall order such person to appear and testify,
and to forthwith produce such books and papers, before the electoral board
at a place to be fixed by the court. If such person shall knowingly fail
or refuse to obey such order of the court without lawful excuse, the court
shall punish him or her by fine and imprisonment, as the nature of the case
may require and may be lawful in cases of contempt of court.
The electoral board on the first day of its meeting shall adopt rules
of procedure for the introduction of evidence and the presentation of
arguments and may, in its discretion, provide for the filing of briefs
by the parties to the objection or by other interested persons.
In the event of a State Electoral Board hearing on objections to a
petition for an amendment to Article IV of the Constitution
pursuant to Section 3 of Article XIV of the Constitution, or to a
petition for a question of public policy to be submitted to the
voters of the entire State, the certificates of the county clerks and boards
of election commissioners showing the results of the random sample of
signatures on the petition shall be prima facie valid and accurate, and
shall be presumed to establish the number of valid and invalid
signatures on the petition sheets reviewed in the random sample, as prescribed
in Section 28-11 and 28-12 of this Code. Either party, however, may introduce
evidence at such hearing to dispute the findings as to particular signatures.
In addition to the foregoing, in the absence of competent evidence presented
at such hearing by a party substantially challenging the results of a random
sample, or showing a different result obtained by an additional sample,
this certificate of a county clerk or board of election commissioners shall
be presumed to establish the ratio of valid to invalid signatures within
the particular election jurisdiction.
The electoral board shall take up the question as to whether or not
the certificate of nomination or nomination papers or petitions are in
proper form, and whether or not they were filed within the time and
under the conditions required by law, and whether or not they are the
genuine certificate of nomination or nomination papers or petitions
which they purport to be, and whether or not in the case of the
certificate of nomination in question it represents accurately the
decision of the caucus or convention issuing it, and in general shall
decide whether or not the certificate of nomination or nominating papers
or petitions on file are valid or whether the objections thereto should
be sustained and the decision of a majority of the electoral board shall
be final subject to judicial review as provided in Section 10-10.1. The
electoral board must state its findings in writing and must state in
writing which objections, if any, it has sustained. A copy of the decision shall be served upon the parties to the proceedings in open proceedings before the electoral board. If a party does not appear for receipt of the decision, the decision shall be deemed to have been served on the absent party on the date when a copy of the decision is personally delivered or on the date when a copy of the decision is deposited in the United States mail, in a sealed envelope or package, with postage prepaid, addressed to each party affected by the decision or to such party's attorney of record, if any, at the address on record for such person in the files of the electoral board.
Upon the expiration of the period within which a proceeding for
judicial review must be commenced under Section 10-10.1, the electoral
board shall, unless a proceeding for judicial review has been commenced
within such period, transmit, by registered or certified mail, a
certified copy of its ruling, together with the original certificate of
nomination or nomination papers or petitions and the original objector's
petition, to the officer or board with whom the certificate of
nomination or nomination papers or petitions, as objected to, were on
file and to the election authority to whom the ballot is certified and the appropriate county clerk, and such officer or board shall abide by and comply with the
ruling so made to all intents and purposes.
