voters' registration.
The secretary of the county election board in each county may
change the boundaries of, abolish or consolidate any precinct,
subject to the limitations provided by law, by observing the
following procedure:
1. No precinct shall be created, divided, abolished or
consolidated, or any boundary otherwise changed between January 1 of
any year which last digit is nine and December 31 of any year which
last digit is zero; and
2. The secretary of a county election board shall only change a
precinct by dividing or consolidating a precinct into two or more
precincts in a manner which will conform to designated census
geography except when it becomes necessary for reasons of a lack of
an adequate available polling place, or when road conditions hinder
or impede a voter's ability to vote, or to accomplish redistricting,
or for any other lawful purpose. Such changes shall conform to the
requirements contained in Sections 3-115 and 3-116 of this title.
3. Changes may not become effective until notices of such
changes have been posted and mailed as provided in this paragraph
for thirty (30) days. One notice shall be posted at the door of the
polling place for the affected precinct, one notice posted at the
door of the county courthouse and one notice shall be mailed to the
State Election Board.
4. The registration of each registered voter affected by such
change shall be transferred as provided by law by the secretary of
the county election board without any request from the voter.
5. Each registered voter whose registration is transferred as
hereinbefore provided shall be notified of such transfer in writing
by the secretary of the county election board. At the same time,
the voter shall be issued a new voter identification card and shall
be instructed to destroy his or her former voter identification
card.
