Section 210.10 Licensing of Raffles Conducted by Political Committees
-
No raffle or other game of chance defined in and authorized by Section 8.1 of the Raffles Act [230 ILCS 15/8.1]
the Act shall be conducted unless a license has first been issued for such a
purpose by the State Board of Elections.
-
"Political Committee" as used in this Part shall mean a political committee as
defined by Section 9-1.9 of the Election Code (10 ILCS, 5/9-1.9).
-
No political committee, group, association, or other entity shall receive a
license to conduct a raffle unless it is a political committee as defined by
this Part and Section 5/9-1.9 of the Election Code, and unless it meets all
requirements of Section 8.1 of the Act.
-
Application for a license to conduct a raffle shall be made on forms provided
by the Board and shall supply, over the oath of the applicant, all information
requested by the application form. The form of the application is set out in
Appendix A.
-
Only the chairman or treasurer of a political committee whose name is listed
on the committee’s D-1 statement at the time the application is filed shall
sign the application for a license to conduct a raffle.
-
An officer of a political committee or an employee or person not otherwise
disqualified by the Act itself shall be deemed to be of good moral character if
he or she has never been convicted of an offense identified in Article 29 of
The Election Code; provided that if an officer, employee or person has
been convicted of such an offense he or she may nonetheless be deemed of good
moral character if at least one year has elapsed between the completion of
any sentence, including a sentence of probation, imposed upon such conviction
and the date the application is sent to the Board as noted upon the application
itself.
-
The information supplied by the applicant, over his or her oath, if it is
complete as to each and every item of the application for which an answer is
required, shall be deemed to be presumptively correct and sufficient for the
Board to issue a license to the applicant to conduct a raffle.
-
Any person who has grounds to believe a committee has violated the terms of the
Act or of its license may file a complaint before the State Board of Elections
to determine whether a license holder remains in compliance with the terms of
its license. The Board shall hear such a complaint under the provisions of 26
Ill.Adm.Code 125. Subpart C. The complainant shall prove its case before the
Board. Nothing in this Part prohibits the Board from filing a complaint, but
unless it does so, the Board shall not act as an advocate for the Complainant.
Failure of a committee to abide by the Act and its license voids the license
whether or not a complaint is filed.
-
All receipts and/or expenditures for raffles conducted under this Section and
the Act shall be reported on the report next required to be submitted by the
committee after each separate raffle under Article 9 of the Illinois Election
Code and on such other reports as may be required by that Article.
