Congressional District | |||
Illinois has 102 counties and 20 congressional districts: 88 counties are wholly within a given congressional district and 14 counties are divided among more than one congressional district. CDs # 1, # 2, # 3, # 4, # 5, # 7 and # 9 are wholly within Cook County UNDIVIDED COUNTIES (wholly within one Congressional District):
DIVIDED COUNTIES (split between more than one Congressional District):
In Illinois, the Minor Civil Divisions/County Subdivisions are the Townships (in 85 counties) or Precincts (in 17 counties): the difference between the two is that the Township has local governmental functions while the Precinct does not. There are also three types of Municipalities in Illinois: the city, the village and the incorporated town- but these are all (with the exception of the City of Chicago in Cook County) not separated from the Township or Precinct from which they were created. As a result, cities, villages and incorporated towns (except for the City of Chicago) are not Minor Civil Divisions/County Subdivisions of the first order in the State of Illinois and every place in Illinois (with, again, the exception of Chicago) is part of a Township or Precinct. In the list below of the Minor Civil Divisions/County Subdivisions in those counties divided among more than one Congressional District, only the Township or Precinct is listed (once more, except in the case of the City of Chicago in Cook County) ADAMS COUNTY:
