Will County Election Fraud Hotline Open Tuesday

WILL COUNTY, IL — As residents head to their polling places to cast their votes on Election Day Tuesday, the Will County State's Attorney's Office is urging voters to report any irregularities using the Election Fraud Hotline.

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 Will County can call 815-727-8872.

State's Attorney James Glasgow assigned two-person teams, each consisting of one assistant state's attorney and one investigator, to travel to polling places where irregularities are reported Tuesday.

Assistant state's attorneys not assigned to specific teams will also be available to be dispatched to investigate allegations reported to the hotline.

"I urge anyone who sees inappropriate activity, such as passing out campaign literature or other acts of electioneering either inside or too close to polling places, to call the hotline I have established," Glasgow said in a statement. "Everyone in our community can play a critical role in helping to preserve the integrity of our election process by staying alert for unusual activities at or near polling places and reporting irregularities."
