electoral fraud

Electoral fraud involves illegal activities intended to manipulate election outcomes. This can include actions like altering or forging ballots, intimidating voters, voter impersonation, tampering with voting machines, or influencing conduct through bribery. The goal is to unfairly sway results in favor of certain candidates or parties, undermining the integrity of the democratic process. Authorities work to detect and prevent such activities to ensure elections remain fair, transparent, and reflective of voters' true preferences.
