Voter Scam Alert: Walton County Board of Elections warns residents of a third party scam addressed to voters

Walton County election officials are warning residents to be cautious of unofficial voter registration notices being sent by third-party companies. Officials warn that some mailers, emails and text messages may use outdated voter information or attempt to collect personal information while appearing to be official election notices. Voters are encouraged to verify their registration only through Georgia’s My Voter Page or by contacting the Walton County Board of Elections directly.

Walton County election officials remind residents to never provide sensitive personal information in response to unsolicited emails, texts, or mailings without verifying the source and to ignore unsolicited notices unless you have confirmed they are from an official election office.

You can contact the Walton County Board of Elections directly at: Phone: 770-267-1337 or Email: elections@co.walton.ga.us You can also verify your voter registration through Georgia’s official My Voter Page at https://mvp.sos.ga.gov.

This type of advisory has become more common nationwide during election years as election offices work to distinguish official government communications from third-party political or commercial mailings.
