Amends the Election Code. Provides that each election precinct shall contain 1,200 voters (now, 500 voters in counties, 600 voters in a municipality with a board of election commissioners and fewer than 500,000 inhabitants, or 400 voters in a municipality with a board of election commissioners and more than 500,000 inhabitants). Provides that, in a city with fewer than 500,000 inhabitants, if any election precinct casts more than 1,500 votes (now, 800 votes) at 2 consecutive general elections, the state's attorney shall apply to the Circuit Court to compel the board to divide the precinct. Provides that, in a city with more than 500,000 inhabitants, if any election precinct casts more than 1,200 votes (now, 600 votes) at 2 consecutive general elections, the state's attorney shall apply to the Circuit Court to compel the board to divide the precinct. Provides that in counties not under township organization, the election precincts shall remain as now established until changed by the Board of County Commissioners, but said County Board may change (rather than, may, from time to time, change) the boundaries of election precincts and establish new ones, but only to the extent a significant shift in voter population has occurred. Effective immediately.
