WASHINGTON, Oct 27 (Minutesmy) — US President Donald Trump has offered a US$1 million reward to anyone who provides information about voter fraud that leads to an arrest and conviction.
Trump announced the offer on Monday through his Truth Social account. It covers alleged voter fraud in past elections and the upcoming US midterm elections on November 3, 2026.
“Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud!” Trump wrote.
Reward Details Remain Unclear
Trump did not explain how the reward would be funded or how people should submit information. It is also unclear which agency would review the reports and decide who qualifies for payment.
The White House has not provided further details about the proposal, according to recent media reports.
Announcement Comes Before Key US Elections
The announcement comes one week before Americans vote in the midterm elections. The results will determine which party controls Congress for the remainder of Trump’s term.
Republicans currently hold narrow majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Recent polls suggest the party faces challenges in maintaining that control.
The Trump administration has also pushed for greater federal oversight of elections, including seeking access to voter registration data. Critics have raised concerns about possible federal interference in the voting process.
Previous Election Fraud Claims Disputed
Trump has repeatedly made claims about voter fraud, including allegations concerning the 2020 presidential election. Those claims were widely disputed, and investigations and court proceedings did not establish fraud on a scale that would have changed the result.
The latest reward announcement does not, by itself, establish that voter fraud has occurred.
With the November 3 vote approaching, the proposal has added to the political debate over election security and the administration’s role in overseeing elections.
