Some area residents have received texts purporting to be from the Chattooga County Registrars Office about their voter registrations.  The texts are scams.  A statement was issued by the local registrars office saying, “The Chattooga County Registrars Office and the Chattooga County Elections Office will never send you a text message regarding your registration status.Our office has been alerted to text messages encouraging the recipient to click a link embedded in the message. These messages are NOT from our office. We are more than happy to check your registration status for you if you call our office at 706-857-0739, stop by our office located at 10017 Commerce Street, or send us an email at chattoogaregistrar@gmail.com. You may also verify your status yourself by visiting the My Voter Page (mvp.sos.ga.gov)”.
