15 | decreases under this Section, then the municipality may adopt | ||||||
16 | an ordinance or resolution to retain the number of aldermen | ||||||
17 | that existed before the most recent federal decennial census | ||||||
18 | results. The ordinance or resolution may not be adopted more | ||||||
19 | than one year after the municipality's receipt of the most | ||||||
20 | recent federal decennial census results. | ||||||

22 | (65 ILCS 5/3.1-20-25) (from Ch. 24, par. 3.1-20-25)
| ||||||
23 | Sec. 3.1-20-25. Redistricting a city.
| ||||||
24 | (a) In the formation of wards, the number of
inhabitants of | ||||||
25 | the city
immediately preceding the division of the city into |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | wards shall be
as nearly equal in population, and the wards | ||||||
2 | shall be of as compact and
contiguous territory, as | ||||||
3 | practicable. Wards shall be created in a
manner so that, as far | ||||||
4 | as practicable, no precinct shall be divided between
2 or more | ||||||
5 | wards.
| ||||||
6 | (b) Whenever an official
decennial census shows that a city | ||||||
7 | contains more or fewer wards than it is
entitled to, the city | ||||||
8 | council of the city, by ordinance, shall redistrict
the city | ||||||
9 | into as many wards as the city is entitled. This
redistricting | ||||||
10 | shall be completed not less than 30 days before the first day
| ||||||
11 | set by the general election law for the filing of candidate | ||||||
12 | petitions for
the next succeeding election for city officers. | ||||||
13 | At this election there
shall be elected the number of aldermen | ||||||
14 | to which the city is entitled,
except as provided in subsection | ||||||
15 | (c).
| ||||||
16 | (c) If it appears from any official decennial census
that | ||||||
17 | it is necessary to redistrict under subsection (b) or for any | ||||||
18 | other reason a city has the requisite number of inhabitants to
| ||||||
19 | authorize it to increase the number of aldermen , the city | ||||||
20 | council shall
immediately proceed to redistrict the city
and | ||||||
21 | shall hold the next city election in
accordance with the new | ||||||
22 | redistricting. At this election , the aldermen whose
terms of | ||||||
23 | office are not expiring shall be considered aldermen for the | ||||||
24 | new
wards respectively in which their residences are situated. | ||||||
25 | At this election and at the next election , in a municipality | ||||||
26 | that is not a newly incorporated municipality, a candidate for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | alderman may be elected from any ward that contains a part of | ||||||
2 | the ward in which he or she resided at least one year next | ||||||
3 | preceding the election that follows the redistricting,
and, if | ||||||
4 | elected, that person may be reelected from the new ward he or | ||||||
5 | she represents if he or she
resides in that ward for at least | ||||||
6 | one year next preceding reelection. If there are 2
or more | ||||||
7 | aldermen with terms of office not expiring and residing in the | ||||||
8 | same
ward under the new redistricting, the alderman who holds | ||||||
9 | over for that ward
shall be determined by lot in the presence | ||||||
10 | of the city council, in the
manner directed by the council, and | ||||||
11 | all other aldermen shall fill
their unexpired terms as | ||||||
12 | aldermen-at-large. The aldermen-at-large, if any,
shall have | ||||||
13 | the same powers and duties as all other aldermen, but upon the
| ||||||
14 | expiration of their terms the offices of aldermen-at-large | ||||||
15 | shall be abolished.
| ||||||
16 | (d) If the redistricting results in one or more wards in | ||||||
17 | which no aldermen
reside whose terms of office have not | ||||||
18 | expired, 2 aldermen shall be elected
in accordance with Section | ||||||
19 | 3.1-20-35, unless the city elected only one
alderman per ward | ||||||
20 | pursuant to a referendum under subsection (a) of Section
| ||||||
21 | 3.1-20-20.
| ||||||
22 | (e) A redistricting ordinance that has decreased the number
| ||||||
23 | of wards of a city because of a decrease in population of the | ||||||
24 | city shall
not be effective if, not less than 60 days before | ||||||
25 | the time fixed for
the next succeeding general municipal | ||||||
26 | election, an official
census is officially published that shows |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that the city has regained a
population that entitles it to the | ||||||
2 | number of wards that it had just
before the passage of the last | ||||||
3 | redistricting ordinance.
| ||||||
4 | (Source: P.A. 95-646, eff. 1-1-08.)
| ||||||
5 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
6 | becoming law.".
