Someone approached me outside a grocery store to register to vote. Are they from your office, and is that allowed?

Voter Questions
Individuals conducting voter registration in public places, such as outside a grocery store, are not representatives of our office. They are typically part of independent voter registration drives organized by community groups or other organizations.
Whether they are allowed to register voters at that location depends on the property. Many grocery stores and shopping areas are privately owned, and individuals must have permission from the property owner or store manager to conduct these activities.
Our office does not coordinate, oversee, or maintain a list of voter registration drive locations. If you have concerns about a specific interaction, you may contact our office for guidance.
