AI Summary
This bill amends the Election Code to remove the option for a county that does not have any cities, villages, or incorporated towns with an existing board of election commissioners to establish its own county board of election commissioners through a simple ordinance passed by the county board. Instead, for such a proposition to be approved, it will now require a vote of approval from 60% of the county's electors, meaning 60% of the voters in that county must vote in favor of establishing the board. This change impacts how counties can create their own election administration bodies, requiring a higher threshold of voter support.
