-Many forms of electoral fraud have been recorded. These include:
-* 'personation': voters assuming the identity of another registered voter (sometimes a recently deceased voter)
-* registration of non-existent voters (e.g. "Mickey Mouse")
-* multiple voting by the same individual (for example by using a postal vote as well as voting on election day)
-* interference with ballot boxes
-* fraudulent voting by non-citizens or felons
-* bribery of election officials or poll workers
-* intentional miscounting of votes by biased election officials

-Election fraud is rampant under [[dictatorship]]s, which use rigged elections to consolidate their leaders' power. Examples include the re-election of [[Robert Mugabe]] in [[Zimbabwe]] in 2008, and the sham elections for [[Saddam Hussein]] as president of [[Iraq]] in the 1990s.
