(10 ILCS 5/6-69) (from Ch. 46, par. 6-69)
Sec. 6-69.
In the conduct of registrations subsequent to that first
provided for under this Article, the board of election commissioners
shall have authority to designate its officers and employees to take
registrations at its office or at such other places as may be specified
by such board under Section 6-51 of this Article. For registration at
other places than the office of the board of election commissioners, the
board may select 3 officers of registration, one of whom may be an
officer or employee of the board of election commissioners, and of the
other 2, one shall be a member of the political party represented by a
majority of the commissioners and one a member of the political party
represented by a minority of such commissioners. To the extent that the
third officer is not a permanent officer or employee of the board of
election commissioners, the appointment of such officer of registration
shall be equally divided between the 2 leading political parties. Judges
of election for any precinct within the area served by one place of
registration shall be eligible for appointment as officers of
registration, but application shall in all cases be made to the
circuit court for the appointment and confirmation of such officers of
registration, in the manner provided for judges of election by Section
14-5 of Article 14 of this Act.
All officers of registration appointed in the manner provided above
and all officers and employees of the board of election commissioners
designated to take registrations either at the office of the board of
election commissioners, or elsewhere, shall be deemed officers of
registration; shall take the oath prescribed by Section 6-33 of this
Article; shall be considered officers of the circuit court; and shall be
subject to the control provided for judges of election by Section 14-5
of Article 14 of this Act. The appointment of such registration officers
shall be made for the same terms as Judges of election. All penalties
imposed by this Act or Article upon judges of election or boards of
registry with respect to the registration of voters or revision thereof
or with respect to registration records, shall equally apply to deputy
registrars, judges of registration and registration officers provided
for by this Article.
