Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

(10 ILCS 5/1A-9) (from Ch. 46, par. 1A-9)

Sec. 1A-9.

The State Board of Elections shall appoint an executive
director and an assistant executive director.  The annual compensation of the executive director and
assistant executive director shall be determined by the Board.

The executive director and assistant executive director may be removed
from office at any time by a vote of
at least 5 members of the Board. Upon any such removal a vacancy is
created which shall be filled as provided for the initial appointments.

The Board, upon the affirmative vote of a majority of its members, may
from time to time contract with technical consultants to assist it in the
performance of its duties.  Such technical consultants shall be compensated
only under contracts which specify the duties to be performed and the compensation
therefor.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section, contracts with
technical consultants, other than hearing officers
and attorneys representing the Board in litigation, shall terminate no more
than 60 days after the commencement of the specified duties and may be extended
once for a period of no more than 30 days upon the affirmative vote of a
majority of the Board.  The time limitations imposed by this Section on
contracts with technical consultants shall not apply to a contract with a
technical consultant for the provision of electronic data processing
services in connection with the Board's performance of the duties assigned
to it pursuant to paragraph (11) of Section 1A-8 or in connection with the
Board's performance of the duties assigned to it pursuant to Sections 4-8,
5-7 and 6-35 concerning the furnishing of electronic data or compilations
containing voter registration information to state political committees
registered pursuant to the Illinois Campaign Finance Act or the Federal
Election Campaign Act.  No technical consultant, other than a hearing officer
or an attorney engaged to represent the Board in litigation, may be compensated
under more than one contract in any fiscal year.
