Deceased voters: When the name of a deceased person remains on a state's official list of registered voters and a living person fraudulently casts a ballot in their name.

Electioneering: Any visible or audible activity inside of a polling place or the polling place perimeter that advocates for or against any candidate or measure on the ballot. This includes signage, clothing, buttons, or materials like pens and brochures that carry messages about items on the ballot. Most states have laws that ban electioneering within a certain number of feet from a polling station.

Electronic vote fraud: Tampering with the hardware or software of a voting machine.

Felon vote fraud: When a convicted felon who is not eligible to vote casts a ballot. Felon voting rights vary by state.

Mail/Absentee ballot vote fraud: Manipulation, deception, or intimidation of a voter attempting to cast an absentee ballot or misappropriation of mail ballots with intent to defraud.

Misinformation: This type of fraud occurs when people distribute false or misleading information in order to affect the outcome of an election including giving voters incorrect information about the time or place of polling.

Polling Place Coercion: Harassing a voter inside a polling place in order to control the voter’s ability to vote or their ballot choices.

Unlawful Procedures: Any illegal action by an election official.

Voter impersonation: Assuming the identity of someone other than yourself when casting a vote.

Voter intimidation/suppression: Attempts to lower or suppress the number of voters who might otherwise vote. Voter intimidation is a form of suppression that puts undue pressure on a voter or group of voters so that they will vote a particular way, or not at all. Intimidation tactics include 1) Violence or threats of violence 2) Attacks on polling places 3) Legal or economic threats

Voter registration fraud: Knowingly registering to vote, or registering someone else to vote, who does not meet the criteria of an eligible voter.

Are cameras/phones allowed in polling stations?

While some states allow video and photography inside the polling stations as long as it is not intrusive or considered intimidating to voters, most do not. Check the laws in your state but remember to:

What if I can’t take pictures inside my polling station?

Please always follow the rules. If you need to submit a report, describe in as much detail as possible what it is that occurred. We recommend submitting as many specifics as you can recall immediately following the incident so it is fresh in your mind.

How do I know when to submit a report?

Knowing both federal and your local election laws and regulations is always key. By being informed, you are able to determine when to accurately submit an incident that is illegal or otherwise suspicious.

Who am I submitting my reports to?

Our team is behind the scenes working on compiling reports and distributing any that require immediate action. Some reports may call for further investigation while others may require immediate emergency action, in which case the proper local authorities or medical emergency department will be notified.*

Should I submit emergencies?

This app is specifically designed to report incidents related to voter fraud. If you are witness to any crime that endangers citizens, or if it is a medical emergency, please immediately contact your local authorities.

How do I know if a non-citizen is voting?

There is no definitive way to know if a voter is a non-citizen. We recommend not submitting reports based on assumptions, but if you are witnessing issues that you feel need to be reported, please do.

How do I know if the election workers are doing anything illegal?

If you recognize an election worker is committing any of the above variations of voter fraud, please file a report immediately. In addition, any other suspicious activity that is not in line with federal or your local election code should be reported.

What if the machines are connected to Wi-Fi?

Although we are told machines are not connected to the internet, citizens have reported their phones picking up Wi-Fi at polling stations or being told that they are unable to vote because the machines lost connection. If you suspect machines are connected to the internet, please provide as many details as possible, including screenshots of the Wi-Fi connection/name from your phone.

Is there another way for me to submit reports?
