PHOENIX — It may look innocent enough — a letter from the Center for Voter Information, with some voter registration forms. Before you send anything, though, make sure your information is accurate.

“The data that they’re using might be a little older, so you might have someone who’s no longer at the address,” Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes said. “Or, you might have some other information that’s not perfectly accurate.”

These letters, Fontes added, are not a scam.

“These are nonprofit organizations who want to help people get registered to vote,” he said.

“If voters send this form to our office, we will verify them before they are processed.”
