Kane County Clerk's Office

On the first day of filing, anyone who is in line as of 8:30 a.m., as well as those petitions received in the first mail delivery*, will be deemed filed at 8:30 a.m. and are eligible for any lottery for ballot position.

The filing line always extends outside of the building and onto the sidewalk, so you should dress appropriately for the weather outside.

If a petition, which is to be filed by a filer in line as of 8:30 a.m. on the first day of filing, is not ready to be filed as of the time of processing the last other filer in line as of that time, the petition will be deemed filed at the time of its actual filing and the candidate will not be eligible for the ballot position lottery.

* Individuals who wish to mail petitions and want to qualify for the 8:00 a.m. lottery must use the U. S. Postal Service and must address petitions to the Kane County Clerk's Office, 719 S Batavia Ave, Bldg B, Geneva, IL 60134. Petitions sent by delivery services other than the U.S. Postal Service do not qualify for the lottery.

FILING CLOSES AT 4:30 P.M. ON THE LAST DAY OF FILING AND THE PETITIONS MUST BE TIME STAMPED BY 4:30 P.M. IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO BE IN LINE AT 4:30 P.M. NO PETITION WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER 4:30 P.M. EVEN IF THE INDIVIDUAL IS IN LINE FOR PROCESSING. PLEASE ALLOW EXTRA TIME FOR TRAVEL AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A LINE ON THE FINAL AFTERNOON OF FILING.
