Cook County is divided into 15 subcircuits for the purpose of electing subcircuit judges. Three subcircuits are located entirely within the City of Chicago (subcircuits 5, 6, & 8) and four subcircuits are located entirely in the County outside of the corporate limits of the City of Chicago (4, 12, 13, & 15). Eight subcircuits have territory in both the City of Chicago and the outer County (1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 11, & 14). These eight subcircuits have two maps, one for the territory inside the City and one for the area in the outer county region.
