Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

Sec. 10-11. Vacancies.

Elective offices become vacant within the meaning of the Act, unless the
context indicates otherwise, on the happening of any of the following
events, before the expiration of the term of such office:

1. The death of the incumbent.

2. His or her resignation in writing filed with the

Secretary or Clerk of the Board.

3. His or her becoming a person under legal

disability.

4. His or her ceasing to be an inhabitant of the

district for which he or she was elected.

5. His or her conviction of an infamous crime, of any

offense involving a violation of official oath, or of a violent crime against a child.

6. His or her removal from office.

7. The decision of a competent tribunal declaring his

8. His ceasing to be an inhabitant of a particular

area from which he was elected, if the residential requirements contained in Section 10-10.5, 11E-35, or 12-2 of this Code are violated.

No elective office except as herein otherwise provided becomes vacant
until the successor of the incumbent of such office has been appointed or
elected, as the case may be, and qualified. The successor shall have the
same type of residential qualifications as his or her predecessor and, if the
residential requirements contained in Section 10-10.5, 11E-35, or 12-2 of this Code
						
apply, the successor, whether elected or appointed by the remaining members or
a regional superintendent, shall be an inhabitant of the particular area from
which his or her predecessor was elected.
