Reporting Fraud, Waste, Abuse, and Mismanagement

EAC OIG has authority to investigate fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement in EAC programs and operations, and by grant recipients. If you believe that you have information that reveals such wrongdoing, you can file a report with EAC OIG. 

Reporting Instructions

Reports of fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement are best made using OIG’s online form. Please be prepared to provide specific facts about the alleged wrongdoing, including:

• When did the wrongdoing occur?
• Where did the wrongdoing occur?
• Who was involved?
• What was the motivation for the alleged wrongdoing?
• What harm was done?
• Was anything done to remedy the wrongdoing?
• Any other information that will assist the OIG in assessing your compliant.

Other Election-Related Concerns

There are many election-related concerns over which EAC OIG does not have authority:

• If you believe you have encountered misinformation or disinformation, voter intimidation, or voter fraud please contact your state or local election office. Directories for state and local election offices are available at eac.gov/vote. In some cases, it may also be appropriate to contact other federal agencies. Visit https://www.eac.gov/voters/other-national-contact-information for additional detail.
• Allegations involving campaign contributions should be reported to the Federal Election Commission.
• Allegations concerning the political activities of federal employees should be reported to the Office of Special Counsel.
