82	82	9 elections. In addition, an election authority may reduce the
83	83	10 number of judges of election in each precinct from 5 to 3 for
84	84	11 any election. The tally judges shall possess the same
85	85	12 qualifications and shall be appointed in the same manner and

90	90	17 who shall possess the same qualifications and shall be
91	91	18 appointed in the same manner and with the same division
92	92	19 between political parties as is provided for other judges of
93	93	20 election. The number of such panels of judges required shall
94	94	21 be determined by regulations of the State Board of Elections
95	95	22 which shall base the required numbers of special panels on the
96	96	23 number of registered voters in the jurisdiction or the number
97	97	24 of vote by mail ballots voted at recent elections, or any
98	98	25 combination of such factors.

111	111	2 persons of the same political party shall be appointed judges

124	124	15 of election in the same election precinct; and which political
125	125	16 party is entitled to 2 judges of election and which political

221	221	5 In addition to such precinct judges, the county board
222	222	6 shall appoint special panels of 3 judges each, who shall
223	223	7 possess the same qualifications and shall be appointed in the
224	224	8 same manner and with the same division between political

255	255	3 than 2 persons of the same political party shall be judges of
256	256	4 election in the same election precinct; and which political

263	263	11 preceding the annual meeting of the county board whether or
264	264	12 not such certified list will be filed by such chair. Such list
265	265	13 shall be arranged according to precincts. The chair of each
266	266	14 county central committee shall, insofar as possible, list
267	267	15 persons who reside within the precinct in which they are to
268	268	16 serve as judges. However, he may, in his sole discretion,

293	293	5 county board shall make or complete such list from the names
294	294	6 contained in the supplemental list provided for in Section

298	298	10 the next, the judges of election to be selected for all new or

301	301	13 facts and circumstances of the particular case, but the
302	302	14 majority of such judges for each such precinct shall be
