Senate Bill 1402 amends the Election Code to require the governing body of a political subdivision located entirely in a county with a population of more than 500,000 that is served by a county elections administrator, that does not contain a municipality with a population of more than 150,000, and that is not an irrigation district to request a contract with the county elections administrator to perform certain election services if the political subdivision receives a petition requesting the contract. The petition must be signed by a number of registered voters residing in the political subdivision that is at least one percent of all votes cast in the most recent general election held by the political subdivision and must be submitted before January 1 of the year in which the election to be administered under the requested contract will be held.
