ALBANY – Governor Andrew Cuomo cautioned New Yorkers of a voter registration phone scam reported in nearby Chemung and Steuben Counties.
Residents have reported receiving calls and text messages from a 607 area code offering to register the person to vote and requesting personal information over the phone.
Voter registration is not conducted over the phone in New York and those contacted should not engage in phone calls or text messages offering these services.
It is especially important not to provide personal information over the phone when you are solicited in this manner.
