US President Donald Trump has announced a $1 million reward for anyone whose information about alleged voter fraud leads to an arrest and conviction, days before the country’s November 3 midterm elections.
Trump made the announcement on Monday, October 26, in a post on his Truth Social platform, saying the offer would cover alleged fraud in previous elections as well as the upcoming 2026 midterms.
“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!” he wrote.
According to Reuters and ABC News, the president did not provide details on how the reward would be funded or administered, including how individuals would submit qualifying information and how payments would be approved.
The announcement comes amid renewed efforts by the Trump administration to investigate alleged election and government fraud. The administration has repeatedly raised concerns about electoral integrity, although Trump’s claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election have not been substantiated by evidence sufficient to overturn the result.
The timing of the announcement places it in the final stretch of campaigning before the midterm elections, in which voters will decide control of the US Congress. The outcome will shape the legislative environment for the remainder of Trump’s presidential term.
It remains unclear whether the $1 million offer will operate through an existing federal whistleblower programme or a separate mechanism. No detailed implementation framework was provided in Trump’s announcement.
