|
| 1 | | State Board of Elections shall adopt rules
and regulations | 2 | | governing the procedures for the conduct of such lottery.
| 3 | | All candidates shall be certified in the order in which | 4 | | their petitions
have been filed. Where candidates have | 5 | | filed simultaneously, they shall be
certified in the order | 6 | | determined by lot and prior to candidates who filed
for the | 7 | | same office at a later time.
| 8 | | (7) The State Board of Elections or the appropriate | 9 | | election

nomination has been filed of | 12 | | the obligation to file statements of
organization, reports | 13 | | of campaign contributions, and annual reports of
campaign | 14 | | contributions and expenditures under Article 9 of this Act.
| 15 | | Such notice shall be given in the manner prescribed by | 16 | | paragraph (7) of
Section 9-16 of this Code.
| 17 | | (8) Nomination papers filed under this Section are not | 18 | | valid if the

| 22 | | filing of nomination papers unless he has filed a statement | 23 | | of economic
interests in relation to the same governmental | 24 | | unit with that officer
within a year preceding the date on | 25 | | which such nomination papers were
filed. If the nomination | 26 | | papers of any candidate and the statement of
economic |

the same officer, the candidate must file with the | 3 | | officer with whom the
nomination papers are filed a receipt | 4 | | from the officer with whom the
statement of economic | 5 | | interests is filed showing the date on which such
statement | 6 | | was filed. Such receipt shall be so filed not later than | 7 | | the
last day on which nomination papers may be filed.
| 8 | | (9) Any person for whom a petition for nomination, or | 9 | | for committeeman or
for delegate or alternate delegate to a | 10 | | national nominating convention has
been filed may cause his | 11 | | name to be withdrawn by request in writing, signed
by him | 12 | | and duly acknowledged before an officer qualified to take

office of the State Board of Elections or | 15 | | with the appropriate election
authority or local election | 16 | | official, not later than the date of
certification of | 17 | | candidates for the consolidated primary or general primary
| 18 | | ballot. No names so withdrawn shall be certified or printed | 19 | | on the
primary ballot. If petitions for nomination have | 20 | | been filed for the
same person with respect to more than | 21 | | one political party, his name
shall not be certified nor | 22 | | printed on the primary ballot of any party.
If petitions | 23 | | for nomination have been filed for the same person for 2 or
| 24 | | more offices which are incompatible so that the same person | 25 | | could not
serve in more than one of such offices if | 26 | | elected, that person must
withdraw as a candidate for all |
| | | 09700HB3895ham002 | - 8 - | LRB097 15025 KMW 67552 a |
|
| 1 | | but one of such offices within the
5 business days | 2 | | following the last day for petition filing. A candidate in | 3 | | a judicial election may file petitions for nomination for | 4 | | only one vacancy in a subcircuit and only one vacancy in a | 5 | | circuit in any one filing period, and if petitions for | 6 | | nomination have been filed for the same person for 2 or | 7 | | more vacancies in the same circuit or subcircuit in the | 8 | | same filing period, his or her name shall be certified only | 9 | | for the first vacancy for which the petitions for | 10 | | nomination were filed. If he fails to
withdraw as a | 11 | | candidate for all but one of such offices within such time
| 12 | | his name shall not be certified, nor printed on the primary | 13 | | ballot, for any
office. For the purpose of the foregoing | 14 | | provisions, an office in a
political party is not | 15 | | incompatible with any other office.
| 16 | | (10)(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other | 17 | | statute, no primary
shall be held for an established | 18 | | political party in any township,
municipality, or ward | 19 | | thereof, where the nomination of such
party for every | 20 | | office to be voted upon by the electors of such
township, | 21 | | municipality, or ward thereof, is uncontested. Whenever a
| 22 | | political party's nomination of candidates is uncontested | 23 | | as to one or
more, but not all, of the offices to be voted | 24 | | upon by the electors of a
township, municipality, or ward | 25 | | thereof, then a primary shall
be held for that party in | 26 | | such township, municipality, or ward thereof;
provided |
| | | 09700HB3895ham002 | - 9 - | LRB097 15025 KMW 67552 a |
|
| 1 | | that the primary ballot shall not include those offices
| 2 | | within such township, municipality, or ward thereof, for | 3 | | which the
nomination is uncontested. For purposes of this | 4 | | Article, the nomination
of an established political party | 5 | | of a candidate for election to an office
shall be deemed to | 6 | | be uncontested where not more than the number of persons
to | 7 | | be nominated have timely filed valid nomination papers | 8 | | seeking the
nomination of such party for election to such | 9 | | office.
| 10 | | (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other | 11 | | statute, no primary
election shall be held for an | 12 | | established political party for any special
primary | 13 | | election called for the purpose of filling a vacancy in the | 14 | | office
of representative in the United States Congress | 15 | | where the nomination of
such political party for said | 16 | | office is uncontested. For the purposes of
this Article, | 17 | | the nomination of an established political party of a
| 18 | | candidate for election to said office shall be deemed to be | 19 | | uncontested
where not more than the number of persons to be | 20 | | nominated have timely filed
valid nomination papers | 21 | | seeking the nomination of such established party
for | 22 | | election to said office. This subsection (b) shall not | 23 | | apply if such
primary election is conducted on a regularly | 24 | | scheduled election day.
| 25 | | (c) Notwithstanding the provisions in subparagraph (a) | 26 | | and (b) of this
paragraph (10), whenever a person who has |
| | | 09700HB3895ham002 | - 10 - | LRB097 15025 KMW 67552 a |
|
| 1 | | not timely filed valid nomination
papers and who intends to | 2 | | become a write-in candidate for a political
party's | 3 | | nomination for any office for which the nomination is | 4 | | uncontested
files a written statement or notice of that | 5 | | intent with the State Board of
Elections or the local | 6 | | election official with whom nomination papers for
such | 7 | | office are filed, a primary ballot shall be prepared and a | 8 | | primary
shall be held for that office. Such statement or | 9 | | notice shall be filed on
or before the date established in | 10 | | this Article for certifying candidates
for the primary | 11 | | ballot. Such statement or notice shall contain (i) the
name | 12 | | and address of the person intending to become a write-in | 13 | | candidate,
(ii) a statement that the person is a qualified | 14 | | primary elector of the
political party from whom the | 15 | | nomination is sought, (iii) a statement that
the person | 16 | | intends to become a write-in candidate for the party's
| 17 | | nomination, and (iv) the office the person is seeking as a | 18 | | write-in
candidate. An election authority shall have no | 19 | | duty to conduct a primary
and prepare a primary ballot for | 20 | | any office for which the nomination is
uncontested unless a | 21 | | statement or notice meeting the requirements of this
| 22 | | Section is filed in a timely manner.
| 23 | | (11) If multiple sets of nomination papers are filed | 24 | | for a candidate to
the same office, the State Board of | 25 | | Elections, appropriate election
authority or local | 26 | | election official where the petitions are filed shall
|
| | | 09700HB3895ham002 | - 11 - | LRB097 15025 KMW 67552 a |
|
| 1 | | within 2 business days notify the candidate of his or her | 2 | | multiple petition
filings and that the candidate has 3 | 3 | | business days after receipt of the
notice to notify the | 4 | | State Board of Elections, appropriate election
authority | 5 | | or local election official that he or she may cancel prior | 6 | | sets
of petitions. If the candidate notifies the State | 7 | | Board of Elections,
appropriate election authority or | 8 | | local election official, the last set of
petitions filed | 9 | | shall be the only petitions to be considered valid by the
| 10 | | State Board of Elections, election authority or local | 11 | | election official. If
the candidate fails to notify the | 12 | | State Board of Elections, election authority
or local
| 13 | | election official then only the first set of petitions | 14 | | filed shall be valid
and all subsequent petitions shall be | 15 | | void.
| 16 | | (12) All nominating petitions shall be available for | 17 | | public inspection
and shall be preserved for a period of | 18 | | not less than 6 months.

| 20 | | Section 10. The Sanitary District Act of 1917 is amended by | 21 | | changing Section 3 as follows:
| 22 | | (70 ILCS 2405/3) (from Ch. 42, par. 301)
| 23 | | Sec. 3. Board of trustees; creation; term. A board of | 24 | | trustees shall be created, consisting of 5 members
in any |
| | | 09700HB3895ham002 | - 12 - | LRB097 15025 KMW 67552 a |
|
| 1 | | sanitary district which includes one or more municipalities | 2 | | with
a population of over 90,000 but less than 500,000 | 3 | | according to the most
recent Federal census, and consisting of | 4 | | 3 members in any other district.
However, the board of trustees | 5 | | for the Fox River Water Reclamation District, the Sanitary | 6 | | District of Decatur, and the Northern Moraine Wastewater | 7 | | Reclamation District
shall each consist of 5 members. Each | 8 | | board of trustees shall be created for the
government, control | 9 | | and management of the affairs and business of each
sanitary | 10 | | district organized under this Act shall be created in the
| 11 | | following manner:
| 12 | | (1) If the district is located wholly within a single | 13 | | county, the
presiding officer of the county board, with the | 14 | | advice and consent of
the county board, shall appoint the | 15 | | trustees for the district;
| 16 | | (2) If the district is located in more than one county, | 17 | | the members
of the General Assembly whose legislative | 18 | | districts encompass any
portion of the district shall | 19 | | appoint the trustees for the district.
| 20 | | In any sanitary district which shall have a 3 member board | 21 | | of trustees,
within 60 days after the adoption of such act, the | 22 | | appropriate
appointing authority shall appoint three trustees | 23 | | not more than 2 of
whom shall be from one incorporated city, | 24 | | town or village in districts
in which are included 2 or more | 25 | | incorporated cities, towns or villages,
or parts of 2 or more | 26 | | incorporated cities, towns or villages, who shall
hold their |
| | | 09700HB3895ham002 | - 13 - | LRB097 15025 KMW 67552 a |
|
| 1 | | office respectively for 1, 2 and 3 years, from the first
Monday | 2 | | of May next after their appointment and until their successors
| 3 | | are appointed and have qualified, and thereafter on or before | 4 | | the second
Monday in April of each year the appropriate | 5 | | appointing authority shall
appoint one trustee whose term shall | 6 | | be for 3 years commencing the first
Monday in May of the year | 7 | | in which he is appointed. The
length of the term of the first | 8 | | trustees shall be determined by lot at
their first meeting.
| 9 | | In the case of any sanitary district created after January | 10 | | 1, 1978 in which
a 5 member board of trustees is required, the | 11 | | appropriate appointing authority
shall appoint 5 trustees, one | 12 | | of whom shall hold office for one year, two
of whom shall hold | 13 | | office for 2 years, and 2 of whom shall hold office for
3 years | 14 | | from the first Monday of May next after their respective | 15 | | appointments

on or before the second Monday in April | 17 | | of each year the appropriate
appointing authority shall appoint | 18 | | one trustee or 2 trustees, as shall be
necessary to maintain a | 19 | | 5 member board of trustees, whose terms shall be for 3
years
| 20 | | commencing the first Monday in May of the year in which they | 21 | | are respectively
appointed. The length of the terms of the | 22 | | first trustees shall be determined
by lot at their first | 23 | | meeting.
| 24 | | In any sanitary district created prior to January 1, 1978 | 25 | | in which a
5 member board of trustees is required as of January | 26 | | 1, 1978,
the two trustees already serving terms which do not |
| | | 09700HB3895ham002 | - 14 - | LRB097 15025 KMW 67552 a |
|
| 1 | | expire on May 1, 1978
shall continue to hold office for the | 2 | | remainders of their respective terms,
and 3 trustees shall be | 3 | | appointed by the appropriate appointing authority
by April 10, | 4 | | 1978 and shall hold office for terms beginning May 1, 1978.
Of | 5 | | the three new trustees, one shall hold office for 2 years and 2 | 6 | | shall
hold office for 3 years from May 1, 1978 and until their | 7 | | successors are
appointed and have qualified. Thereafter, on or | 8 | | before the second Monday
in April of each year the appropriate | 9 | | appointing authority shall appoint
one trustee or 2 trustees, | 10 | | as shall be necessary to maintain a 5 member
board of trustees, | 11 | | whose terms shall be for 3 years commencing the first
Monday in | 12 | | May of the year in which they are respectively appointed. The
| 13 | | lengths of the terms of the trustees who are to hold office | 14 | | beginning May
1, 1978 shall be determined by lot at their first | 15 | | meeting after May 1, 1978.

political party; except that in any sanitary | 18 | | district which otherwise
meets the requirements of this Section | 19 | | and which lies within 4 counties of the
State of Illinois or, | 20 | | prior to April 30, 2008, in the Fox River Water Reclamation | 21 | | District; the
appointments of the 5 members of the board of | 22 | | trustees
shall be made without regard to political party. | 23 | | Beginning with the appointments made on April 30, 2008, all | 24 | | appointments to the board of trustees of the Fox River Water | 25 | | Reclamation District shall be made so that no more than 3 of | 26 | | the 5 members are from the same political party.

The election of trustees shall be in accordance with | 4 | | the provisions Section 2A-1.1 of the Election Code. Any current | 5 | | board members whose terms do not expire in 2015 shall serve out | 6 | | the remainder of their term. The board of trustees shall | 7 | | consist of 5 elected members. The trustees shall be elected for | 8 | | staggered terms at the election as provided by the general | 9 | | election law. Two trustees shall be elected at the 2015 | 10 | | election, and 3 trustees shall be elected at the following | 11 | | election. Elected trustees shall take office on the first | 12 | | Tuesday after the first Monday in the month following the month | 13 | | of their election and shall hold their offices for 4 years and | 14 | | until their successors shall be elected and qualified. In all | 15 | | elections for trustees, each elector may vote for as many | 16 | | candidates as there are trustees to be elected, but no elector | 17 | | may give to the candidates more than one vote.
When a vacancy | 18 | | exists on the board of trustees of the Fox River Water | 19 | | Reclamation District, the vacancy shall be filled by | 20 | | appointment by the president of the board of trustees, with the | 21 | | advice and consent of the members of the board of trustees, | 22 | | until the next regular election at which trustees of the | 23 | | district are elected, and shall be made a matter of record in | 24 | | the office of the county clerk in the county where the district | 25 | | is located. For a vacancy filled by appointment, the portion of | 26 | | the unexpired term remaining after the next regular election at |

a sanitary district having a 3 member | 5 | | board of trustees contains one
or more municipalities with a | 6 | | population over 90,000 but less than 500,000,
or, for the | 7 | | Northern Moraine Wastewater Reclamation District, within 60 | 8 | | days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the | 9 | | 95th General Assembly, the appropriate appointing authority | 10 | | shall appoint 2 additional trustees
to the board of trustees, | 11 | | one to hold office for 2 years and one to hold
office for 3 | 12 | | years from the first Monday of May next after their appointment
| 13 | | and until their successors are appointed and have qualified. | 14 | | The lengths

authority shall within 60 days appoint a | 14 | | trustee who shall hold office for
the remainder of the vacated | 15 | | term.

of legal process at the suit of the district. | 3 | | Provided, that nothing
herein shall be construed as prohibiting | 4 | | the appointment or selection of
any person as trustee or | 5 | | employee whose only interest in the district is

payment | 7 | | of taxes levied by the district. The trustees shall have the
| 8 | | power to provide and adopt a corporate seal for the district.
