If

fraud,
please contact the Florida Voter Fraud Hotline:
1-877-868-3737
Voter
fraud can rob you of your voice in
government and greatly impact the results of
elections. 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, we ask that you complete the
Complaint Form regarding voter registration or voting
and return it to the Division of Elections at the
address at the top of the form so it may be
further investigated.
The
Division 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 us to be able to conduct preliminary
investigations, it is imperative that you provide
us with the date, time, place and any specific
circumstances that are witnessed. We need credible
evidence (this does not mean suspicion). We also
need a means of contacting you to obtain
additional information.
