Briefs: Hotline for voting problems
Kane County voters who observe or experience voting problems or irregularities during Tuesday's primary election again will be able to report them to the Kane County state's attorney's office. The election complaint line, established by Kane County State's Attorney John Barsanti, will be available from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday at (630) 208-5328. 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 the county's 223 voting precincts should call. 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.
This hotline is not for election questions, such as polling times and places. Those questions should be addressed to the Kane County clerk's election help line at (630) 232-5990.
