The city of Bangor warned residents on Tuesday warning of a person knocking on doors and offering to return absentee ballots.
In a post on the social media platform X, the city said “at least one individual” was involved in the activity, which has been reported to the Maine secretary of state to investigate.
“It is illegal and may result in ballots never being submitted/counted,” the city said.
The city did not provide any additional details, and a spokesperson for the city could not immediately be reached on Tuesday afternoon.
