Counties lacking township government

Of the 102 counties in the state of Illinois, 17 are divided into minor civil divisions known as precincts.[1] The 261[citation needed] such precincts in Illinois are listed below. The remaining 85 counties are divided into 1,433 townships.[1] Despite this distinction, precincts are also sometimes referred to as "civil townships".[1]

Unlike electoral precincts, these precincts are not necessarily restricted to a single electoral district. Instead, they serve as administrative divisions of county government.
