Voter Manipulation

Voter manipulation involves influencing or altering voter behavior and choices through strategies that exploit psychological, social, or informational vulnerabilities. This can include spreading false or misleading information, using targeted advertising, or creating social pressures to sway opinions or suppress certain groups’ participation. The goal is often to shape election outcomes in a way that favors specific candidates, parties, or policies, sometimes undermining fair democratic processes. While some tactics are overt, like propaganda, others are covert, making voter manipulation a complex challenge to democratic integrity.
