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.

Sec. 24C-3.1.

Retention or consolidation or alteration of
existing precincts; Change of location.  When a Direct Recording
Electronic Voting System is used, the county board or board of
election commissioners may retain existing precincts or may
consolidate, combine, alter, decrease or enlarge the boundaries
of the precincts to change the number of registered voters of
the precincts using the System, establishing the number of
registered voters within each precinct at a number not to exceed
800 as the appropriate county board or board of election
commissioners determines will afford adequate voting facilities
and efficient and economical elections.

Except in the event of a fire, flood or total loss of heat
in a place fixed or established pursuant to law by any county
board or board of election commissioners as a polling place for
an election, no election authority shall change the location of
a polling place established for any precinct after notice of the
place of holding the election for that precinct has been given
as required under Article 12 unless the election authority
notifies all registered voters in the precinct of the change in
location by first class mail in sufficient time for the notice
to be received by the registered voters in the precinct at least
one day prior to the date of the election.
