ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Several counties are warning their residents that people are going door-to-door falsely presenting themselves as Board of Elections staff members.
According to the Ontario County Board of Elections, these individuals confront voters and accuse them of crimes, alleging that their names appear more than once in the voter database.
Board members remind voters in Ontario County that they never investigate door-to-door and anyone who does so claiming they are with the Board of Elections is false.
In addition, Steuben County’s Board of Elections says that these individuals are going door-to-door across multiple counties.
People who answer the door and meet someone claiming to be someone from the Board of Elections must ask for ID, collect as much information as possible, and call 911. It is advised not to give these people any personal information.
News 8 has reached out to Monroe County for information on any incidents that may have occurred locally. This story will be updated as more information is revealed.
The Ontario County Sheriff’s Office is aware of these incidents. Anyone who encounters an individual doing this is asked to call the Board of Elections at (585)-396-4005.
