The Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorder-Elections Office would like county residents to be aware of a potential texting scam asking about voter registration.
Our office has learned that constituents across California are receiving text messages asking them to check their registration and providing links. Our office would like the public to know that the Clerk-Recorder-Elections Office is not reaching out to constituents via text to update voter registrations.
If you receive a text message asking you to check your registration, please do not click on the links provided. Go directly to www.contracostavote.gov and click on the “My Voter Registration” button to verify your status. If you have any questions, please contact our office via email at [email protected] or call us at (925) 335-7800. Our staff are available to answer any questions you might have.
“Remember that your County Elections Office is your trusted source of election information,” said Kristin B. Connelly, Contra Costa Registrar of Voters. “We are urging our residents to be vigilant and to reach out directly to the County Elections Office if you have any questions about text messages or emails that ask you to register to vote via a link that is not directed to our website.”
Residents should update their registration if they have moved to a new address, have changed their name, or want to change their party affiliation. If you are not registered to vote, you can go to the California Secretary of State Website https://registertovote.ca.gov/ and register online or pick up a voter registration form at the County Elections Office, your local public library, a post office, or The California Department of Motor Vehicles.
