GENEVA – The Geneva Township Electoral Board voted Wednesday to continue a hearing to 4 p.m. today because the challenged clerk candidate did not attend, and his official notice had the wrong time.

Incumbent township Trustee Robert Kovacs filed an objection to the nominating petitions for Geoffrey M. Carreiro, a candidate for the clerk position in the April 9 consolidated election ballot.

Carreiro’s official notification of the hearing, delivered by a Kane County sheriff’s deputy, listed the hearing time as 10 p.m. Wednesday –  not 10 a.m.
