Section 15-110. Election districts  


Latest version.
  • 1. A village shall constitute a single
      election district for  village  elections.  However,  if  at  a  general
      village  election  the  number  of votes cast exceeds eight hundred, the
      board of trustees, by resolution adopted before the next general village
      election,  may  divide  such  village  into  election   districts   each
      containing  not  more  than  eight  hundred qualified voters for village
      offices.
        2. Following the establishment of two  or  more  such  districts,  the
      number  thereof or their boundaries or both may be enlarged, diminished,
      increased or decreased from year to year by resolution of the  board  of
      trustees;  provided,  however, that, if there is more than one district,
      no such district shall contain more than eight hundred qualified voters.
        3.  If  village  election  districts  are  coterminous  with  election
      districts  established  for general elections other than general village
      elections, the limitations as to the  number  of  qualified  voters  set
      forth  in  subdivisions  one  and  two  of  this  section  shall  not be
      applicable.
        4. For the purposes of this section, the number of qualified voters in
      each election district of a village shall be the average of  the  number
      of  persons  who  voted  in such district in the three preceding general
      village elections.
        5. Any resolution adopted pursuant to the authority  of  this  section
      shall  be  adopted at least one hundred twenty days prior to the general
      village election; shall specify the boundaries of each election district
      created or altered; and shall be posted and published with the notice of
      such election as required.
