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.

Clerk shall issue subpoenas to witnesses to appear at such hearings, and
witnesses may be sworn and examined upon the hearing of said

have a name erased shall deliver to the County Clerk a written
affidavit, which shall be, in substance, in the words and figures

of .... and in the county of .... in said State, since the .... day of
.... and in the .... precinct of the .... ward, in the city, village or
incorporated town of .... or in the .... district town of .... in said
county and State, since the .... day of .... and that I am .... years of
age; that I am the identical person registered in said precinct under
the name I subscribe hereto."
This answer 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 hearing, and a minute
made thereof, and when an application to be registered or to be restored
to such register or to complete registration shall be allowed, the said
County Clerk shall cause a minute to be made upon the original and
duplicate registration records withdrawn.
All applications under this Section and hearings as hereinafter provided
may be heard by deputy county clerks specially designated by the County
