Verify voter registration info with official state sources to avoid falling for them.
The three most common scams around elections are voter registration scams, fake surveys and polls, and political donation scams, experts say.
Fake surveys and polls that prey on people's heightened emotions during election seasons are also common, NASS says.
Another common sign that a voter registration message could be a scam is if the messenger says you must pay to complete your voter registration.
To register to vote, or to find out if your Social Security Number is required for voter registration in your state, the FTC says to contact your local election office or check the US Election Assistance Commission's National Voter Registration Form.
