How Kane County Voted In 2024 Presidential Election

KANE COUNTY, IL — Although the United States elected former President Donald Trump back into office as its 47th president, more than half of Kane County voters backed Vice President Kamala Harris.

In Kane County, 72.6 percent of registered voters — 221,350 ballots were cast out of a total of 304,232 registered voters — turned out for the historic election between Trump and Harris.

In the presidential election, with all 292 precincts reporting, 52.88 percent of people, or 117,053 votes, cast their ballot for Harris and running mate Tim Walz, while 44.27 percent, or 97,983 votes, went to Trump and running mate J.D. Vance, according to unofficial results from the Kane County Clerk's Office.

Some voters chose to go the independent route, with 2,942 people, or 1.33 percent, voting for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and running mate Nicole Shanahan. Others wrote in Jill Stein, Chase Oliver and Peter Sonski, receiving a respective 715, 161 and 101 votes. Two other write-in candidates, Claudia De La Cruz and Cornel West received 68 and 54 votes, respectively, the clerk's office reported.
