| 7 | | Sec. 6A-1.
(a) Any county in which there is no city, |
| 8 | | village or incorporated town
with a board of election |
| 9 | | commissioners may establish a county board of

|
| 11 | | (2) by vote of the electors of the county in accordance with |

|
| 13 | | The fact that some territory in a county is within the |
| 14 | | corporate
limits of a city, village or incorporated town with a |
| 15 | | board of election
commissioners does not prevent that county |
| 16 | | from establishing a county
board of election commissioners in |
| 17 | | accordance with this Article if no
portion of such city, |
| 18 | | village or incorporated town was within the county
at the time |
| 19 | | of the establishment of the board of election commissioners
for |
| 20 | | such city, village or incorporated town. If such a county
|
| 21 | | establishes a county board of election commissioners pursuant |
| 22 | | to this
Article, the county board of election commissioners |
| 23 | | shall, with respect
to the territory in the county within the |
|
| | HB0126 | - 2 - | LRB099 03481 MGM 23489 b |
|
|
| 1 | | corporate limits of the city,
village or incorporated town, |
| 2 | | supersede the board of election
commissioners of that city, |
| 3 | | village or incorporated town.
|
| 4 | | (b) Any county with a population of more than 700,000 |
| 5 | | persons as of the 2010 federal decennial census that borders |
| 6 | | another state and borders no more than 2 other Illinois |
| 7 | | counties, shall be subject to a county board of election |
| 8 | | commissioners beginning 90 days after the effective date of |
| 9 | | this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly. |
| 10 | | (c) Any county with a population of less than 200,000 but |
| 11 | | more than 175,000 persons as of the 2010 federal decennial |
| 12 | | census in which a city, village, or incorporated town with a |
| 13 | | board of election commissioners is located may establish a |
| 14 | | county board of election commissioners by vote of the electors |
| 15 | | of the county in accordance with subsection (b) of Section |
| 16 | | 6A-2. If such a county establishes a county board of election |
| 17 | | commissioners, the county board of election commissioners, |
| 18 | | with respect to the territory in the county within the |
| 19 | | corporate limits of the city, village, or incorporated town, |
| 20 | | shall supersede the board of election commissioners of that |
| 21 | | city, village, or incorporated town. |
| 22 | | (d) Beginning 90 days after the effective date of this |
| 23 | | amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly, the East St. Louis |
