Today is Primary Day to determine which candidates will represent the Democratic and Republican parties on the ballot in November. Polls open at 6:00am and close at 7:00pm. If you are in line at 7:00pm to vote, please remain in line as the polls cannot close until everyone has voted. Results will trickle in through the evening on the Kane County Clerk’s website.
The Kane County convention is held every two years following the primary election on even-numbered years. This is when all new PCs are officially elected and can thus elect the Chair and Executive Board members of the Kane County Democrats. This is a weighted vote based on the number of Democratic ballots pulled in your precinct for that primary election. We will have the weighted number once the ballot is certified following the June 28 election. The scheduled County Convention is a set date required by Illinois state law, which will take place this year on Wednesday July 27.
If you are a newly elected PC for the 2022-2024 term, please email us at info@kanedems.org to ensure that your email is included in our invite. Please note that this is a private event and that only elected and appointed PCs will be allowed in.
The Leagues of Women Voters of the Aurora Area and Central Kane County will co-host a hybrid forum at 7pm on
Wednesday, September 21, 2022 for the candidates running for Illinois State Senate in the 42nd District and Illinois State House in the 83rd District.
Candidates that will be on the November 8th ballot will be participating in a forum being co-hosted by League of Women Voters – Central Kane County and NAACP.

We are in the final leg of the 2022 Midterm Election season. This has traditionally been the time when the League of Women Voters hold forums showcasing candidates for questioning by the public. This year was to be no different until a group of local Republican candidates decided to forego the traditional, non-partisan forums. By rejecting participation in the forums they are not only denying the public the opportunity to ask them questions, they are denying the public the opportunity to ask questions of their Democratic opponents too.
Fox Valley Moxie and the Dundee Township Democrats believe that candidates should always be willing and anxious to answer the voters’ questions, so we’re holding “The Voters Deserve Answers Forum”!
The candidates who will be at the forum and ready to answer your questions include:
Suzanne Ness, House Rep. District 66, Linda Robertson, House Rep. District 65, Ted Penensis, County Board District 16, Courtney Boe, Kane County Board District 21, Cherryl Strathmann, Kane County Board, District 20, Vern Tepe, Kane County Board, District 22, Chris Kious, County Board District 23, and Jarett Sanchez, County Board District 24.
We welcome you to submit questions for the candidates to: foxvalleymoxie@gmail.com
We cannot guarantee that all questions submitted will be asked.
