Where To File Election Complaints On April 1 In Kane County

KANE COUNTY, IL — If voters experience any issues during the April 1 consolidated election in Kane County, they can report them to a hotline operated by the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Anyone who experience problems and irregularities or witnesses possible illegal activity — including electioneering, illegally placed campaign signs or denial of voting rights — at any of the voting precincts in Kane County can call the hotline at 630-208-5328.

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

The complaint line will be staffed by representatives of the Kane County State's Attorney's Office. Assistant state's attorneys will take complaints about potential violations and are “prepared to ensure compliance with state election laws.”
