So, it means what it says it means. After a long tradition, Sun City residents who live in the Kane County portion of Sun City will no longer have the convenience of voting in their respective “back yard” after the April 6 election.

As of this writing, a representative at the Kane County Clerk’s office had no knowledge of, nor, had not been advised of the Sun City Board action.

Sun City residents living in McHenry County will continue voting at the Diecke Park.

Opportunities to be informed about life in Sun City are always available via Board meeting agendas published the Friday preceding the meeting date as a link on the Executive Director’s Online Update; Viewing the virtual Board meeting; Highlights of the meeting’s minutes as a link on the Executive Director’s Updates; Discussions at Neighborhood meetings; Talk to Staff inquiry forms.
