Court affirmed decision of Village Electoral Board sustaining objection to referendum petition to place public question as to video gaming on ballot to be voted on by voters of Village.The 270 sheets of Referendum Petition which share common headings comply with requirements of section 70 of Video Gaming Act and substantially comply with requirements of Section 28-3 of Election Code. Those 270 sheets contain more than statutory minimum number of signatures necessary to place before voters of Village the question of whether video gaming should be prohibited. The inclusion within Referendum Petition of 6 sheets which do not contain same headings was a technical deficiency which is insufficient to render all 276 sheets of Petition invalid.(CUNNINGHAM, concurring; DELORT, specially concurring.)
