235 ILCS 5/ Liquor Control Act of 1934.

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.

In all prosecutions under this Article, it shall not be necessary
to state the kind of liquor sold; nor to describe the place where sold; nor
to show the knowledge of the principal to convict for the acts of any agent
or servant; nor to state the name of any person to whom liquor is sold; nor
to set forth the facts showing that the required number of legal voters
petitioned for the submission to the voters of said proposition, nor that a

Any 5 legal voters of any political subdivision or precinct
