Finally, the Elections Division is notifying the public that it has received reports from
two (2) states (not Hawaii) that their residents are receiving phone calls from
individuals impersonating an organization that provides voter registration
assistance. Callers are asking recipients if they want to register to vote or request
an absentee ballot over the phone.
The public is advised that the voter registration and the absentee ballot application
process cannot only be completed over the phone so anyone receiving this type of call
should hang-up immediately and report the incident to the Elections Division.
