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 5/6-9) (from Ch. 46, par. 6-9)
Sec. 6-9. After ascertaining and announcing the result as aforesaid,
such judges shall make, fill up and sign duplicate returns or
statements of the votes cast for and against such proposition as
aforesaid, in the form found in Section 6-3 of this Article, each of
which shall be attested by the other judges, and each of which shall
then be enclosed and sealed in an envelope, one of which shall be on the
outside addressed to the appropriate election authority and one to the comptroller of such city, or to the
officer whose duties correspond with those of the comptroller. Upon each
of which statements shall be endorsed "city election law returns". In
the same manner the tally sheet in duplicate shall be signed by the
judges, and shall be enclosed and sealed in separate envelopes, one of
which shall be addressed to the county judge and one to the city clerk;
upon both of the envelopes shall be endorsed "city election law
tallies". On the outside of each envelope shall be endorsed whether it
contains a statement of the votes cast or the tallies, and for what
precinct and ward. After the envelopes respectively containing such
returns and tallies are closed and sealed, the judges of election shall
each write across the folds of such envelopes their names, and thereupon
each of the judges of election shall take one of said returns or
tallies, and shall deliver, each one respectively, to the person or
officer to whom addressed, by noon of the next day, and when delivered
he shall receive a receipt therefor from the officer to whom delivered,
and it shall be the duty of such officer to give such receipts, and to
safely keep such envelopes unopened until called for by the election authority
as herein provided.
