SUMMIT COUNTY, Utah — The Summit County Clerk’s Office has issued a warning to residents about a scam involving text messages related to voter registration. According to officials, the fraudulent text claims to offer a quick, under 2-minute voter registration process but contains a link that could potentially install malware on the recipient’s device.

The public is urged not to click on any links from unsolicited texts claiming to assist with voter registration.

Authorities are investigating the scam and advising residents to contact the Summit County Clerk’s Office directly for legitimate voter registration and information.
