Illinois Declination of Office is a form that must be completed by individuals who are appointed to a government office in the state of Illinois and who choose to decline the appointment. This form is also known as the Illinois Formal Resignation of Office, and it must be signed and notarized. There are two types of Illinois Declination of Office: voluntary and involuntary. Voluntary declination of office occurs when an individual is appointed to a position but declines to accept it. Involuntary declination of office occurs when an individual is removed from office due to misconduct, failure to meet qualifications, or other reasons. In either case, the individual is required to submit the Illinois Declination of Office form to the appropriate authority.
