The referendum shall be held in accordance with the general election law. If a majority of those voting on the question vote in favor of reducing the number of trustees from 6 to 4, the number of trustees shall be reduced to 4. In order to provide for the transition from 6 member boards to 4 member boards, 2 trustees shall be elected at the general municipal election in each odd numbered year after the adoption of the referendum when trustees are elected for 4 year terms and at the general municipal election in each year after the adoption of the referendum when trustees are elected for 2 year terms. Any village that changes from a 6 member board to a 4 member board may thereafter return to a 6 member board by the same procedure.","path":["CHAPTER 65 MUNICIPALITIES","Illinois Municipal Code."],"source_url":"https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ILCS/details?ActID=802\u0026ChapterID=14\u0026ChapAct=FullText\u0026Print=True","current_through":"at least Public Act 104-790","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-15T04:46:23Z","sha256":"d160d413239070d458e7b47f17f1e163999b7db21ab0e1a1963531f7b4ef5a7a","source_id":"us-il","stale":false,"prev":"us-il/65-ilcs-5-3.1-25-5","next":"us-il/65-ilcs-5-3.1-25-15"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
