  1. Boytor v. City of Aurora

    81 Ill. 2d 308 (Ill. 1980)   Cited 7 times
    In Boytor v. City of Aurora (1980), 81 Ill.2d 308, 410 N.E.2d 1, the Illinois Supreme Court held that "the power to choose the `manner of selection' should include the ability to decide by referendum whether the election of officers should be on a partisan or nonpartisan basis."

    The plaintiff, Gerald Boytor, brought suit in the circuit court of Kane County requesting a declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, and personal damages against the defendants for alleged violations of the election laws. The trial court granted defendants' pretrial motion to dismiss, the appellate court affirmed ( 70 Ill. App.3d 303), and we granted leave to appeal. We affirm.
