The FBI, via an IC3 Public Service Announcement, is warning US voters about federal election crimes ahead of the November 2026 midterm election. It describes three broad categories: campaign finance violations, threats to election workers, and civil rights violations such as voter suppression or intimidation. Examples include false voter registration information, ballot tampering, threats against voters, deliberate disinformation about the time, place or manner of voting, and illegal campaign contributions (straw donors, foreign sources, misuse of campaign funds). The notice carries no technical indicators, malware, vulnerabilities or attributed actors.

Remediação

  • Confirm the date, time and location of your polling place using official sources such as the U.S. Election Assistance Commission or USA.gov.
  • Check the sources of election information and the intent of whoever produced the content, and use social media platform tools to report posts spreading false voting information.
  • Verify the registration status of political committees on the FEC website before donating, and never accept money or anything of value in exchange for a vote.
  • Report suspected election crimes to the local FBI field office or through an electronic tip. Include names of those involved, screenshots of threats or false posts, and the name, company or website of anyone soliciting illegal contributions.
