The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Cybersecurity and

Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) are issuing this announcement to

inform the public that attempts by cyber actors to compromise election

infrastructure could slow but not prevent voting. The FBI and CISA have not

identified any threats, to date, capable of preventing Americans from voting

or changing vote tallies for the 2020 Elections. Any attempts tracked by FBI

and CISA have remained localized and were blocked, minimal, or easily

mitigated.

The FBI and CISA have no reporting to suggest cyber activity has prevented a

registered voter from casting a ballot, compromised the integrity of any

ballots cast, or affected the accuracy of voter registration information.

However, even if actors did achieve such an impact, the public should be

aware that election officials have multiple safeguards and plans in place—

such as provisional ballots to ensure registered voters can cast ballots, paper

backups, and backup pollbooks—to limit the impact and recover from a

cyber incident with minimal disruption to voting. The FBI and CISA continue

to assess that attempts to manipulate votes at scale would be difficult to

conduct undetected.

Nevertheless, cyber actors continue attempts against election systems that

register voters or house voter registration information, manage non-voting

election processes, or provide unofficial election night reporting. These

attempts could render these systems temporarily inaccessible to election

officials, which could slow, but would not prevent, voting or the reporting of

results.
