Where To File Complaints On Election Day In Kane County

KANE COUNTY, IL — The Kane County state's attorney and sheriff's offices will operate an election complaint line during the general election Tuesday, officials announced.

Voters who experience problems and irregularities or witness possible illegal activity — including electioneering, illegally placed campaign signs or denial of voting rights — at any of the voting precincts in Kane County can the hotline at 630-208-5328 or the sheriff's office at 630-232-6840.

The complaint line will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. Officials noted the phone number should not be used for questions regarding polling times and places.
