(105 ILCS 5/9-11.2) (from Ch. 122, par. 9-11.2)
Sec. 9-11.2. For all school districts electing candidates to a board
of education in a manner other than at large, candidates not elected at
large who file
nominating petitions for a full term shall be grouped together by area of
residence as follows:
(1) by congressional townships, or
(2) according to incorporated or unincorporated areas.
For all school districts electing candidates to a board of education in a
manner other than at large, candidates not elected at large who file
nominating petitions for an
unexpired term shall be grouped together by area of residence as follows:
(1) by congressional townships, or
(2) according to incorporated or unincorporated areas.
Candidate
groupings by area of residence for unexpired terms shall precede the
candidate groupings by area of residence for full terms on the ballot.
In all instances, however,
the ballot order of each candidate grouping shall be determined by the
order of petition filing or lottery held pursuant to Section 9-11.1 in the
following manner:
The area of residence of the candidate determined to be first by order of
petition filing or by lottery shall be listed first among the candidate
groupings on the ballot. All other candidates from the same area of
residence will follow according to order of petition filing or the lottery.
The area of residence of the candidate determined to be second by the
order of petition filing or the
lottery shall be listed second among the candidate groupings on the ballot.
All other candidates from the same area of residence will follow according
to the order of petition filing or the lottery. The ballot order of
additional candidate groupings by area of residence shall be established in a
like manner.
In any school district that elects its board members according to area of
residence and that has one or more unexpired terms to be filled at an election,
the winner or winners of the unexpired term or terms shall be determined first
and independently of those running for full terms. The winners of the full
terms shall then be determined taking into consideration the areas of residence
of those elected to fill the unexpired term or terms.
"Area of Residence" means congressional township and
incorporated and
unincorporated territories.
"Affected school district" means either of the 2 entire elementary school
districts that are formed into a combined school district.
