President Donald Trump said Monday that he would offer $1 million for information about voter fraud that leads to a conviction, making the pledge ahead of the Nov. 3, 2026, U.S. midterm elections.

Trump did not explain how the reward would be funded or administered. ABC News characterized the proposal as covering reports of voter fraud in past or upcoming elections, while NBC News, Reuters and France 24 described payment as contingent on a conviction.

The announcement follows Trump’s repeated false claims that he won the 2020 presidential election.
