§ 15-110. Election districts. 1. A village shall constitute a single
election district for village elections. However, if at a general
village election the number of votes cast exceeds eight hundred, the
board of trustees, by resolution adopted before the next general village
election, may divide such village into election districts each
containing not more than eight hundred qualified voters for village
offices.
2. Following the establishment of two or more such districts, the
number thereof or their boundaries or both may be enlarged, diminished,
increased or decreased from year to year by resolution of the board of
trustees; provided, however, that, if there is more than one district,
no such district shall contain more than eight hundred qualified voters.
3. If village election districts are coterminous with election
districts established for general elections other than general village
elections, the limitations as to the number of qualified voters set
forth in subdivisions one and two of this section shall not be
applicable.
4. For the purposes of this section, the number of qualified voters in
each election district of a village shall be the average of the number
of persons who voted in such district in the three preceding general
village elections.
5. Any resolution adopted pursuant to the authority of this section
shall be adopted at least one hundred twenty days prior to the general
village election; shall specify the boundaries of each election district
created or altered; and shall be posted and published with the notice of
such election as required.
