What compliance teams should check

  • Review voter registration records for individuals registered in both Bergen County, New Jersey and Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.
  • Update internal controls to detect multiple ballots cast by the same individual in federal elections, referencing the 2024 presidential election typology.
  • Coordinate with the FBI and local election offices when investigating potential double voting cases similar to Miya Pack's.

Why it matters

This case highlights the importance of robust controls to detect and prevent double voting in federal elections, a risk that can undermine election integrity and expose institutions to legal and reputational consequences. Compliance officers must ensure that voter registration and ballot-casting systems are monitored for duplicate activity across jurisdictions, and that any suspicious cases are promptly reported to the appropriate authorities. The involvement of the FBI and local election offices demonstrates the need for interagency cooperation in addressing election-related offenses.

How the radar works

Each item is classified by category, pinned to the jurisdictions it affects and scored from 0 to 10. The score starts from a model assessment of how serious the item is, then adds points for the kind of event, what it names and the source behind it. Reliability grades run from A1 (the regulator’s own notice) to C3 (a single secondary source).

AML News Radar reports what its sources publish. Summaries, categories and scores are automated; read the original notice before acting. It is not legal advice and not a screening decision.
