Operational for years, the Election Integrity Command Center works to defend the integrity of Kentucky’s elections. While the voter fraud hotline is open year-round, calls are received at the center on and after Election Day.

Investigators, prosecutors and staff from the Attorney General’s Office operate the hotline and answer calls on Election Day from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET. The team is made up of members of the Special Prosecutions Division, including 8 prosecutors, as well as members of the Department of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

The FBI and Kentucky State Police are also present at the center while complaints are submitted to the hotline. There is an immediate, collaborative effort to investigate credible allegations of election law violations and work to resolve complaints.

Additionally, DCI members are located throughout the Commonwealth to assist with any issues that may arise.

As of 4 pm on Monday, the Hotline received 357 complaints of possible violations of the electoral law. Messages were received from 82 of Kentucky’s 120 counties. From 6 a.m. to noon on Election Day, 214 complaints were received from 44 counties.

A reminder: Even when the polls close, the hotline will remain open. Calls can be made to 800-328-8683 or 800-328-VOTE. online complaints can be sent here.

Attorney General Russell Coleman, who stopped by the center Tuesday to thank those working, made the decision in his first year to allow media access to the center in an effort to assure Kentuckians that their elections were fair and safe.

Complaints submitted to the Election Fraud Hotline will be updated throughout this Election Day. For the most up-to-date numbers, click here.
