14 (235 ILCS 5/9-2) (from Ch. 43, par. 167)
15 Sec. 9-2. When any legal voters of a precinct in any
16 city, village or incorporated town of more than 200,000
17 inhabitants, as determined by the last preceding Federal
18 census, desire to pass upon the question of whether the sale
19 at retail of alcoholic liquor shall be prohibited in the
20 precinct or at a particular street address within the
21 precinct, they shall, at least 90 days before an election,
22 file in the office of the clerk of such city, village or
23 incorporated town, a petition directed to the clerk,
24 containing the signatures of not less than 25% of the legal
25 voters registered with the board of election commissioners or
26 county clerk, as the case may be, from the precinct.
27 Provided, however, that when the petition seeks to prohibit
28 the sale at retail of alcoholic liquor at a particular street
29 address of a licensed establishment within the precinct the
30 petition shall contain the signatures of not less than 40% of
31 the legal voters requested from that precinct. The petition
32 shall request that the proposition "Shall the sale at retail
33 of alcoholic liquor be prohibited in (or at) ....?" be
-4- LRB9209131LDpr
1 submitted to the voters of the precinct at the next ensuing
2 election at which such proposition may be voted upon. The
3 submission of the question to the voters of such precinct at
4 such election shall be mandatory when the petition has been
5 filed in proper form with the clerk. If more than one set of
6 petitions are presented to the clerk for submission at the
7 same election, the petition presented first shall be given
8 preference; however, the clerk shall provisionally accept any
9 other set of petitions setting forth the same (or
10 substantially the same) proposition. If the first set of
11 petitions for a proposition is found to be in proper form and
12 is not found to be invalid, it shall be accepted by the clerk
13 and all provisionally accepted sets of petitions setting
14 forth the same (or substantially the same) proposition shall
15 be rejected by the clerk. If the first set of petitions for
16 a proposition is found not to be in proper form or is found
17 to be invalid, the clerk shall (i) reject the first set of
18 petitions, (ii) accept the first provisionally accepted set
19 of petitions that is in proper form and is not found to be
20 invalid, and (iii) reject all other provisionally accepted
21 sets of petitions setting forth the same (or substantially
22 the same) proposition. Notice of the filing of the petition
23 and the result of the election shall be given to the
24 Secretary of State at his offices in both, Chicago and
25 Springfield, Illinois. A return of the result of the election
26 shall be made to the clerk of the city, village or
27 incorporated town in which the precinct is located. If a
28 majority of the voters voting upon such proposition vote
29 "YES", the sale at retail of alcoholic liquor shall be
30 prohibited in the precinct or at the street address. If the
31 sale at retail of alcoholic liquor at a particular street
32 address is prohibited pursuant to this Section, the license
33 for any establishment at that street address shall be void,
34 and no person may apply for a license for the sale at retail
-5- LRB9209131LDpr
1 of alcoholic liquor at an establishment at that street
2 address unless such prohibition is discontinued pursuant to
3 Section 9-10.
4 In cities, villages and incorporated towns of 200,000 or
5 less population, as determined by the last preceding Federal
6 census, the vote upon the question of prohibiting the sale at
7 retail of alcoholic liquor, or alcoholic liquor other than
8 beer containing not more than 4% of alcohol by volume, or
9 alcoholic liquor containing more than 4% of alcohol by weight
10 in the original package and not for consumption on the
11 premises, shall be by the voters of the political subdivision
12 as a unit. When any legal voters of such a city, village or
13 incorporated town desire to pass upon the question of whether
14 the sale at retail of alcoholic liquor shall be prohibited in
15 the municipality, they shall, at least 90 days before an
16 election, file in the office of the clerk of the
17 municipality, a petition directed to the clerk, containing
18 the signatures of not less than 25% of the legal voters
19 registered with the board of election commissioners or county
20 clerk, as the case may be, from the municipality. The
21 petition shall request that the proposition, "Shall the sale
22 at retail of alcoholic liquor be prohibited in....?" be
23 submitted to the voters of the municipality at the next
24 ensuing election at which the proposition may be voted upon.
25 The submission of the question to the voters of the
26 municipality at such election shall be mandatory when the
27 petition has been filed in proper form with the clerk. If
28 more than one set of petitions are presented to the clerk for
29 submission at the same election, setting forth the same or
30 different propositions, the petition presented first shall be
31 given preference and the clerk shall refuse to accept any
32 other set of petitions. Notice of the filing of the petition
33 and the result of the election shall be given to the
34 Secretary of State at his offices in both Chicago and
-6- LRB9209131LDpr
1 Springfield, Illinois. A return of the result of the election
2 shall be made to the clerk of the city, village or
3 incorporated town. If a majority of the voters voting upon
4 the proposition vote "Yes", the sale at retail of alcoholic
5 liquor shall be prohibited in the municipality.
6 In the event a municipality does not vote to prohibit the
7 sale at retail of alcoholic liquor, the council or governing
8 body shall ascertain and determine what portions of the
9 municipality are predominantly residence districts. No
10 license permitting the sale of alcoholic liquors shall be
11 issued by the local liquor commissioner or licensing officer
12 permitting the sale of alcoholic liquors at any place within
13 the residence district so determined, unless the owner or
14 owners of at least two-thirds of the frontage, 200 feet in
15 each direction along the street and streets adjacent to the
16 place of business for which a license is sought, file with
17 the local liquor commissioner or licensing officer, his or
18 their written consent to the use of such place for the sale
19 of alcoholic liquors.
20 In each township or road district lying outside the
21 corporate limits of a city, village or incorporated town, or
22 in a part of a township or road district lying partly within
23 and partly outside a city, village or incorporated town, the
24 vote of such township, road district or part thereof, shall
25 be as a unit. When any legal voters of any such township, or
26 part thereof, in counties under township organization, or any
27 legal voters of such road district or part thereof, in
28 counties not under township organization, desire to vote upon
29 the proposition as to whether the sale at retail of alcoholic
30 liquor shall be prohibited in such township or road district
31 or part thereof, they shall, at least 90 days before an
32 election, file in the office of the township or road district
33 clerk, of the township or road district within which the
34 election is to be held, a petition directed to the clerk and
-7- LRB9209131LDpr
1 containing the signatures of not less than 25% of the legal
2 voters registered with the county clerk from such township or
3 road district or part thereof. The submission of the question
4 to the voters of the township, road district or part thereof,
5 at the next ensuing election shall be mandatory when the
6 petition has been filed in proper form with the clerk. If
7 more than one set of petitions are presented to the clerk for
8 submission at the same election, setting forth the same or
9 different propositions, the petition presented first shall be
10 given preference and the clerk shall refuse to accept any
11 other set of petitions. A return of the result of such
12 election shall be made to the clerk of the township or road
13 district in which the territory is situated, and shall also
14 be made to the Secretary of State at his offices in both
15 Chicago and Springfield, Illinois.
