U.S. Attorney David Capp says his offices are providing resources for concerned citizens on Election Day.

Capp has appointed Assistant U.S. Attorney Gary Bell to lead efforts in the Northern District of Indiana to monitor possible fraud at polling places in Indiana and has provided phone numbers and other resources to report irregularities.

According to a press release from the Northern District of Indiana offices, the Department of Justice has a role to play in deterring election fraud and combating discrimination at the polling place.

The Justice Department says their annual efforts also help to ensure confidence in the results of any given election.

The U.S. Attorney’s office in the Northern District of Indiana will be open with the polls on Election Day to accept phone calls at 219-937-5656.

In addition, the Federal Bureau of Investigation will have agents located at each of the field offices prepared to respond to improprieties.
