portion of such city, | 8 |
| village or incorporated town was within the county
at the time | 9 |
| of the establishment of the board of election commissioners
for | 10 |
| such city, village or incorporated town. If such a county
| 11 |
| establishes a county board of election commissioners pursuant | 12 |
| to this
Article, the county board of election commissioners | 13 |
| shall, with respect
to the territory in the county within the | 14 |
| corporate limits of the city,
village or incorporated town, | 15 |
| supersede the board of election
commissioners of that city, | 16 |
| village or incorporated town.
| 17 |
| (b) Any county in which a city, village, or incorporated | 18 |
| town with a board of election commissioners is located may | 19 |
| establish a county board of election commissioners by vote of | 20 |
| the electors of the county in accordance with subsection (b) of | 21 |
| Section 6A-2. If such a county establishes a county board of | 22 |
| election commissioners, the county board of election | 23 |
| commissioners, with respect to the territory in the county | 24 |
| within the corporate limits of the city, village, or | 25 |
| incorporated town, shall supersede the board of election | 26 |
| commissioners of that city, village, or incorporated town. |
