Ridgewood NJ , With the deadline to register to vote of October 16th just days away, the League of Women Voters of Ridgewood is warning the public about an email scam targeting individuals.
In the scam the individual receives an email stating that the recipient has not voted in four years and are no longer registered to vote.
If eligible individuals are unsure if they are registered, check out the NJ Division of Election’s website, nj.gov/state/elections/voting-information.html or the League of Women Voters of New Jersey’s website, lwvnj.org. Voter registration forms can be downloaded from those websites.
The deadline to register is Tuesday, Oct. 16, according to the New Jersey Department of State.
You must re-register if you have changed your name or address or upon completion of a jail sentence, parole or probation because of a felony conviction.
A poll worker is permitted to request identification if the voter did not do so on the original registration form or if the id was designated on the form but not verified.
Avoid responding to e-mails from unknown people.
Some even provide LINK connections to some that can corrupt your computer. I was alerted by my installed safety devices.
