Line 1: − '''Electoral fraud''' is the criminal manipulation of elections to secure the supposed victory of a candidate who, had the election been conducted legally and fairly, would not have won.+ − − 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 − − <!--Add more--> − − 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. − − [[Category:Politics]]
