Election officials have received complaints from Michigan voters concerned about text messages they’ve received regarding their voter registration status. Voters should use caution before clicking links or providing personal information, and the Michigan Board of Elections will refer any suspicious messages for investigation. In election years, it is common for third-party groups to send voter registration forms directly to voters either by mail, email, or text message. When in doubt, voters can always go directly to Michigan.gov/Vote to check their voter registration status, register to vote, or update their registration.
