1-22-6. Precincts; consolidation; polling places.

A. The same precincts that are used in a general election shall be used in a school district election, provided that:

(1) if a precinct lies partly within and partly outside of a school district, the part of the precinct lying within the school district constitutes a precinct for a school district election; and

(2) all of the area within the exterior boundaries of a school district may constitute one precinct for a school district election.

B. In the event that only one candidate has filed a declaration of candidacy for each position to be filled at an election and no declared write-in candidates have filed for any position and there are no questions or bond issues on the ballot, only one polling place for the election shall be designated and it shall be in the office of the county clerk or a designated polling place in the school district of the county in which the school district is located.

C. Except as otherwise provided in the School Election Law, the county clerk shall consolidate precincts for a school district election as provided in the proclamation for that election and shall provide for a polling place within each precinct or consolidated precinct.
