Illinois Supreme Court
Civil Court
Election Code
Electoral Board correctly found that circulators who collected signatures for a Democratic candidate for consolidated primary election and for an independent candidate for consolidated general election, in the same election cycle, violated section 10-4 of Election Code. Such "dual-circulation" is prohibited by section 10-4, to prohibit persons from changing party affiliation in the same election cycle. After invalidating improper signatures, the candidate whose eligibility is being challenged failed to meet the minimum requirement to permit his name to be placed on the ballot. (A. BURKE, GARMAN, THEIS, NEVILLE, M. BURKE, and CARTER, concurring.)
