Triad election officials advise avoiding misleading voter registration messages [View all]

GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. — Just under four months from Election Day, people across the Triad may receive messages telling them they are not registered to vote.

Charlie Collicutt, the director of the Guilford County Board of Elections, says these messages may arrive digitally or through the mail.

“I don’t know what some of these organizations do. I think that a lot of people registered and not get these texts telling them to check or telling them they’re not registered, sending them things in the mail even,” he said. “And I don’t really know what they’re trying to accomplish.”

Collicutt says whoever is sending these messages may be well-intentioned and simply trying to encourage voters to turn out. However, he says it’s not a good idea to engage with the content of the messages.
