What Not to Report to the OIG Hotline
The EAC OIG generally does NOT investigate the following matters: • Voter fraud (for example, ineligible persons voting, eligible persons voting more than once, persons voting under a false identity, etc.) • Voter registration abnormalities • Election irregularities (for example, vote tampering, voter suppression, mishandling of ballots, etc.) • Campaign financing issues (report such issues to the Federal Election Commission, https://www.fec.gov/legal-resources/enforcement/complaints-process/) • 911 Emergencies • Equal Employment Opportunity complaints Under the U.S. Constitution, the responsibility for administering elections is reserved specifically to the states. Any problems concerning administration of elections should generally be reported to your local election board, state election official (see https://www.eac.gov/voters/register-and-vote-in-your-state/ for an interactive map with links to your state election official), or, if you suspect criminal behavior, your State Police or state Attorney General. The only Federal agency with jurisdiction to investigate election-related crime is the Department of Justice, which you may contact via your local Assistant United States Attorney (https://www.justice.gov/usao/find-your-united-states-attorney ) or your local office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
