PEORIA, Ill. If
current election results hold, current At-Large Council Member Rita Ali would win the 59th mayoral election in Peoria’s history.
In the middle of her four-year term that expires in May 2023, her win would leave an empty seat in the council chambers.
City Manager Patrick Urich explained Illinois Municipal Code 65 ILCS 5/5-2-12 (g) lays out how the process of filling an empty council seat works. The code states:
If a vacancy occurs in the office of mayor or councilman, the remaining members of the council, within 60 days after the vacancy occurs, shall fill the vacancy by appointment of some person to the office for the balance of the unexpired term or until the vacancy is filled by interim election under Section 3.1-10-50, and until the successor is elected and has qualified.
