Description
This is an original mandamus proceeding brought by petitioners who are residents of Centreville Township and Stites Township
in St. Clair County seeking to compel respondent Daniel Ring, county clerk of St. Clair County, to conduct hearings pursuant
to the provisions of sections 4-12 and 4-13 of the Election Code upon numerous applications to erase from the register of
voters the names of allegedly unqualified voters. Because of the imminence of the November 5 election we issued the writ of
mandamus on October 28, indicating that an opinion setting forth the reasons for issuance would be filed later. This is that
opinion. Under the Election Code the county clerk is the county officer in charge of the registration of voters within each county
outside the jurisdiction of cities having election commissions. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1967, chap. 46, par. 4-4.) It is his statutory
duty to examine the records of deaths in the county each month and to cancel the registration of any voter who has died during
the preceding month (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1967, chap. 46, par. 4-14.1); to record, after notification, changes of address and names
of voters in the county and to erase from the register of voters the names of those no longer qualified to vote. Ill. Rev.
Stat. 1967, chap. 46, par. 4-16.
