Illinois Statutes Chapter 65. Municipalities § 5/7-1-28. Form of proposition; election results

§ 7-1-28. The question shall be in substantially the following form:

The certificate shall include in the results statements of the total vote cast at the election and the vote for and against the proposition in each municipality and in the territory sought to be annexed alone.

If a majority of the voters in the territory sought to be annexed, voting upon the proposition at any election, vote against disconnection and annexation, any petition thereafter presented to the court for disconnection and annexation of the same territory shall be signed by not less than 1/8 of the electors of the territory sought to be annexed.

If a majority of the voters of each municipality, as well as a majority of the voters within the limits of the territory sought to be annexed, voting upon the question of disconnection and annexation, vote “Yes”, the jurisdiction of the annexing municipality is extended over the territory sought to be annexed, and the disconnecting municipality loses jurisdiction over the territory.
