Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
10 ILCS 5/4-13
(10 ILCS 5/4-13) (from Ch. 46, par. 4-13)
Sec. 4-13.
A docket of all applications to the county clerk, whether such
application shall be made for the purpose of being registered, or restored,
or for the purpose of erasing a name on the register or for completing
registration, shall be made out in the order of the precincts. The county
clerk shall sit to hear such applications between the hours of 10:00 a.m.
and 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of the second week prior to
the week in which the 1970 primary election for the nomination of
candidates for State and county officers or any election thereafter is to
be held. Witnesses may be sworn and examined upon the hearing of the
applications.
Each person appearing in response to an application to have his name
erased shall deliver to the county clerk a written affidavit, which shall
be, in substance, in the words and figures following:
"I do solemnly swear that I am a citizen of the United States; that I do
reside and have resided in the State of Illinois since the .... day of ....
and in the county of .... in said state since the .... day of .... and in
the .... precinct of the .... ward, in the city, village, incorporated town
or town of .... in said county and state, since the .... day of .... and
that I am .... years of age; and that I am the identical person registered
in said precinct under the name I subscribe hereto."
This affidavit shall be signed and sworn to or affirmed before any
person authorized to administer oaths or affirmations. The decision on each
application shall be announced at once after the hearing, and a minute made
thereof, and when an application to be registered or to be restored to the
register or to complete registration shall be allowed, the county clerk
shall cause a minute to be made upon the original and duplicate
registration record cards.
All applications under this Section and all hearings hereinafter
provided may be heard by a deputy county clerk or clerks specially
designated by the county clerk for this purpose, and a decision by a deputy
so designated, shall become the decision of the county clerk upon approval
by the county clerk.
In any case in which the county clerk refuses an application to be
registered or restored or to have a registration completed, or orders a
name erased or stricken from the register, application may be made to the
circuit court to be placed upon the register, and such applications shall
be heard, and appeals taken from refusal of such applications, in the
manner provided in other civil actions. The court may,
at its discretion, hear such applications upon the same days
as are specified in this Section for hearings by the county clerk, and, in such cases,
application to be heard by the court may be made on such days. Forms for
applications to the court shall be furnished by the county clerk.
