See Any Election-Sign Tampering? Electioneering? Kane County State's Attorney Complaint Line Is Now Open

Kane County voters who observe or experience voting problems or irregularities during next week’s consolidated election should call the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office to report the problems.

The Election Complaint Line will be available from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 9, 2013.

Anyone who experiences or witnesses any possible illegal election activity, such as electioneering, illegally placed campaign signs or denial of voting rights at any of Kane County’s 228 voting precincts should call the hotline at (630) 208-5328.

The hotline will be staffed by representatives of the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office. Assistant State’s Attorneys will take the complaints about potential violations of Illinois election laws and are prepared to travel to polling places to ensure compliance with state election laws.

“Because so many municipal positions are contested, we expect this will be a very active election. Our office will be ready to assist election judges and the voters to ensure polling places are run fairly and are free of political activity,” Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said.   

Voters should note that this hotline is not for election questions, such as polling times and places. Voters in need of election information should call the Kane County Clerk’s Election Help Line at (630) 232-5990. Eligible voters must be registered, a United States citizen and at least 18 years of age.
