consolidated, or any boundary otherwise changed between January 1 of

last digit is zero; and
2. The secretary of a county election board shall only change a
precinct by dividing or consolidating a precinct into two or more
precincts in a manner which will conform to designated census

or for any other lawful purpose. Such changes shall conform to the
requirements contained in Sections 3-115 and 3-116 of this title.

the county election board without any request from the voter.

hereinbefore provided shall be notified of such transfer in writing
by the secretary of the county election board. At the same time,
the voter shall be issued a new voter identification card and shall
be instructed to destroy his or her former voter identification
