DuPage Polls Will Be Monitored In 'Coordinated Effort' On Election Day

DUPAGE COUNTY — On Election Day, the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office (DCSAO) will help organize efforts to prevent election fraud, interference, electioneering and more as voters head to the polls.

Alongside the DuPage County Clerk's Office, the DCSAO will have prosecutors and investigators available to field questions about election code and handle any reports of election fraud or other violations. Additionally, deputies from the DuPage County Sheriff's Office will be on hand at polling places, DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin explained in a statement.

Berlin said,

“As we have done in every election since I became State’s Attorney, my office will again deploy teams of Assistant State’s Attorneys and investigators throughout DuPage County to canvass polling places and to respond to suspected violations of the Election Code. In addition to my staff, local law enforcement officers as well as Sheriff’s Deputies will blanket polling places throughout our county. We are well-prepared to address any allegations of interference, electioneering or voter fraud including individuals who attempt to obstruct or interfere with the right of any person to vote; persons who attempt to vote more than once or present false identification; or tampering with voting equipment. Anyone suspected [of] engaging in this type of behavior will not only be turned away at the polls but will be thoroughly investigated and potentially face criminal prosecution."
