(70 ILCS 605/4-8) (from Ch. 42, par. 4-8)
Sec. 4-8.
Change from appointment to election of commissioners in
certain districts.
In any district, whether heretofore or hereafter organized, 10 per
cent or more of the adult landowners may petition the court to change
the method of selecting commissioners from appointment to election. The
practice and procedure on a petition to change from the appointment to
the election of commissioners shall follow, as nearly as the facts will
permit, the practice and procedure set forth in Section 4-6 for the
change from elective to appointive commissioners. The commissioners in
office at the time an order is given or made directing that thereafter
the commissioners shall be elected in the manner provided by this Act
shall continue in office until the time that their successors would have
been appointed under Section 4-1 and until their successors have been
elected and shall have qualified.
