ORLANDO, Fla. — Federal prosecutors are urging Central Florida voters to report intimidation, discrimination or suspected election fraud as early voting continues ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida announced the enforcement plan on Wednesday in coordination with the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.
Authorities will investigate potential violations, including voter harassment, interference, and election fraud such as voter impersonation and intentional disruptions at polling places or ballot-processing centers.
“Every citizen should be free to vote without interference or discrimination and to have their vote count, without the fear that it will be stolen because of fraud,” U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe said.
Voters can report suspected election fraud through the FBI Tips Portal and discrimination through the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Reporting Portal. Anyone facing immediate danger should call 911.
For voters still making plans, all Florida counties must offer early voting Oct. 24–31, though some began earlier. Check your county supervisor of elections website for locations and hours.
Thursday, Oct. 22, is also the deadline to request that a vote-by-mail ballot be mailed to you.
