Spoof text messages reported, Beware or fake text from Cobb Elections

Cobb County has received reports of text messages claiming to be from Cobb Elections and Voter Registration. The messages direct recipients to apply for an absentee ballot via a link to the Georgia Secretary of State's office. While the link is legitimate, the text messages are NOT from Cobb Elections, and the phone number is a spoof.

Important safety tips:
• Never click on links in emails or texts unless you know the sender's identity.
• Spoof websites can look identical to the real ones. Always verify by typing the URL directly into your browser.
