Voter Fraud

"A person who commits or attempts to commit any fraud in connection with voting, votes a fraudulent ballot, or votes more than once in an election can be convicted of a felony of the third degree and fined up to $5,000 and/or imprisoned for up to 5 years."

Voter fraud can rob many Americans of their voice in government and greatly impact the results of elections across the nation.  It is the active participation of citizens, like yourself, which aid in our mission to eliminate voter fraud.

Voter fraud means intentional misrepresentation, trickery, deceit, or deception, arising out of or in connection with voter registration or voting, and the prescribed offenses set forth in Chapter 104, Florida Statutes.

Should you observe or witness a potential case of voter fraud, the Division of Elections (DOE) asks that you complete the Complaint Form regarding voter registration or voting and return it to the DOE at the address at the top of the form so it may be further investigated (see Rule 1S-2.025, Voter Fraud Complaints).

The DOE conducts preliminary investigations into any irregularities or fraud involving voter registration or voting and report its findings to the state attorney for the judicial circuit in which the alleged violation occurred for prosecution, where warranted.  Therefore, in order for the DOE to be able to conduct preliminary investigations, it is imperative that you provide the DOE with the date, time, place and any specific circumstances that are witnessed.  The DOE needs credible evidence (this does not mean suspicion).  The DOE also needs a means of contacting you to obtain additional information.  If you believe you have witnessed election fraud, please contact the Voter Fraud Hotline at 1-877-868-3737.
