The Elections Office has received multiple reports of individuals visiting homes in various districts, falsely claiming to be employees of the Elections Office and conducting political surveys. The public is advised that the Elections Office is not conducting door-to-door surveys. Genuine Elections Office staff are always identifiable by their official identification badges and uniforms.
The public is reminded that canvassing or surveying for information about voting preferences is not illegal. However, falsely claiming to be from the Elections Office or misrepresenting oneself as a government official is a criminal offence.
Under section 99 of the Penal Code (2019 Revision), it is an offence to personate a public official or falsely represent oneself as a person employed in the public service. This offence carries a penalty of up to four years imprisonment, ensuring that those who attempt such fraudulent acts will face severe consequences.
Should you encounter anyone you believe to be impersonating an Elections Office official, report the matter immediately to the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service at 949-4222.
If you feel threatened or sense immediate danger from someone approaching you, please call 911.
