15-110 - Election districts.

§  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.
