We've been alerted to phishing emails targeting those registering to vote. These emails request personal documents like passports or proof of address.
These fake emails may come from addresses such as This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., but other similar addresses could also be used.
Genuine emails will come from:
Election team: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
EROP portal: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for Postal, Proxy Application evidence
Gov Notify: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for annual canvass communications
The phishing emails mimic a genuine request asking you to provide documents to verify your address and identity. Please be careful and not to click any links or respond. You can also report this to the National Cyber Security Centre.
If you receive an email like this do NOT click on any links.
