Plaintiff appealed from the circuit court’s dismissal of his petition challenging an adverse ruling by the State Board of Elections for lack of jurisdiction. The appellate court similarly found that it lacked jurisdiction and dismissed the appeal, explaining that plaintiff failed to comply with the statutory requirement that he serve each member of the State Board of Elections individually.
