of the census. A nominating petition for a candidate for | ||
commissioner of a subdistrict or for a candidate for the | ||
at-large commissioner shall contain signatures of registered | ||
voters residing anywhere within the Fox Valley Park District, | ||

number of ballots cast Park District-wide in the last preceding | ||
election for commissioners in the Fox Valley Park District, | ||
whichever is less. | ||
The term of office for the commissioners elected
under this
| ||
