Attorney General's Office Warns Of Scams Dealing With Election

The Illinois Attorney General is urging Illinoisans to be on alert for robocalls that discourage voting by mail. Attorney General Kwame Raoul says that some voters have reported receiving calls warning them that voting by mail could result in their private information being shared with third parties. Raoul says his office has received calls saying that information will be sent to the Centers for Disease Control to track people for mandatory vaccines. Again, Raoul says, these robocalls are not giving accurate information

 

Attorney General Raoul is urging all voters to do the following: Ensure your voter registration is up to date, update your voter registration, check the status of a vote-by-mail application, safely deliver your ballot to the election authority, and take advantage of other early voting options.

 

If you receive any robocalls you are encouraged to call the consumer fraud hotline at 1-800-243-0618. You can also call the Illinois State Board of Elections at 217-782-4141.
