§ 526Polling Places to Be Selected by County Board

(a) The county board of elections shall select and fix
the polling place within each new election district and may,
at any time, for any reason that may seem proper to it, either
on its own motion or on petition of ten qualified registered
electors of an election district, change the polling place
within any election district. Except in case of an emergency
or unavoidable event occurring within twenty days of a primary
or election, which renders any polling place unavailable for
use at such primary or election, the county board shall not
change any polling place until at least five days after notice
of the proposed change shall have been posted on the existing
polling place and in the immediate vicinity thereof, and until
at least five days after written notice of the proposed change
shall have been given to the occupant or owner of said polling
place, or their agent.
   (b) Except in case of emergency or unavoidable event,
occurring within twenty days of a primary or election, which
renders any polling place unavailable for use, if a petition

be presented to the county board on or before the day set for
hearing of the petition for change of polling place, signed by
a majority of the registered electors of the district, objecting
to the proposed change, said change shall not be ordered.
   (c) The county board of elections shall publicly announce,
not less than twenty days prior to the primary election, special
election, municipal election or general election, by posting
at its office in a conspicuous place, a list of the places at
which the election is to be held in the various election
districts of the county. The list shall be available for public
inspection at the office of the county board of elections.
