election fraud

Election fraud involves illegal actions intended to influence the outcome of an election. This can include activities like vote tampering, ballot stuffing, coercion or intimidation, impersonation at polling stations, or tampering with voting machines and vote counts. Such acts undermine the integrity of the democratic process and can reduce public trust in election results. However, proven instances are rare, and election systems have various safeguards to detect and prevent fraud. Ensuring secure and transparent elections is essential for maintaining confidence in democratic institutions.
