Section 6-202. Party nominations; villages

1.  Party  nominations  of
  candidates for village offices in any county shall be made  at  a  party
  caucus  or  at a primary election, as the rules of the county committee,
  heretofore or hereafter adopted consistent with the provisions  of  this
  chapter  shall  provide.  If  the  rules  of the county committee of any
  political party provide that party nominations for  village  offices  of
  that  party  in  any  or  all  villages in the county shall be made at a
  village primary election, such primary election shall be held forty-nine
  days prior to the date of the village election. In the event there is no
  village committee with a chairman, the chairman of the county committee,
  or such other person or body as the rules of such committee may provide,
  shall designate an enrolled member of the party who is a qualified voter
  of the village as the village election chairman.  The  chairman  of  the
  county  committee  of each party in which nominations in any village are
  made at a primary election shall file with the board  of  elections,  at
  least  one  week  before the first day to file designating petitions for
  such primary elections, a list of the name and address of  the  chairman
  of  the  village committee or the village election chairman in each such
  village. Such village chairman shall have general  party  responsibility
  for  the  conduct  of  the  village  caucus  or  primary  election. Such
  nominations shall be  made  not  more  than  fifty-six,  nor  less  than
  forty-nine days prior to the date of the village election.
    2.  A  notice of any village primary held for making party nominations
  of candidates for village offices to be filled  at  a  village  election
  shall  be  given by the proper party authorities by publication at least
  once in each of the two weeks preceding the  primary  in  at  least  one
  newspaper of general circulation within the village.
    3.  A notice of any party caucus held for making party nominations for
  village offices for village elections shall be given by the proper party
  authorities by posting such notice in the public areas at the offices of
  the village clerk and the board of elections and by filing  such  notice
  with  such  clerk  and such board at least ten days preceding the day of
  the caucus and, either by newspaper publication thereof once within  the
  village  at  least  one  week  and not more than two weeks preceding the
  caucus, or by posting such notice in six public places in the village at
  least ten days preceding the day of the caucus.
    4. The notice shall specify the time and  place  or  places,  and  the
  purpose  of  such  caucus  or  primary,  including the offices for which
  candidates will be nominated thereat.  There shall be a chairman  and  a
  secretary and tellers for each such village primary or caucus, who shall
  be  appointed  by  the  appropriate  party  officials.  No  person shall
  participate in such primary or caucus who  is  not  a  resident  of  the
  village  and  an  enrolled  voter of the party conducting the primary or
  caucus. At any primary or caucus in which nominees are chosen by vote of
  the people in attendance, the person eligible and receiving the  highest
  number  of  votes  for an office shall be deemed nominated. Such village
  primary or caucus shall not be conducted at public expense. The board of
  elections shall furnish a list of enrolled voters to the chairman of the
  village caucus or primary.
    5. Any party nomination made at any such  caucus  or  village  primary
  shall be evidenced by the filing of a certificate of nomination with the
  board   of   elections.   There  shall  be  filed,  together  with  such
  certificate, or within five days after the board of elections sends  the
  notice  of  failure  to  file  prescribed by this subdivision, a list of
  enrolled members of the party who have participated in  such  caucus  or
  primary.  If  such list is not filed with such certificate, the board of
  elections shall forthwith send notice of the failure to file  such  list
  to  the  persons  who  signed  such  certificate,  by  first class mail,

  together with a notice that such list must be  filed  within  five  days
  after  such  notice  was  mailed.  Such  list  shall be certified by the
  presiding officer or secretary of such caucus or primary.
