Election interference generally refers to efforts to change the outcome of an election, especially by illegitimate means. Kinds of election interference may include:

  • Electoral fraud, illegal interference with the process of an election
    • Vote buying, when a political party or candidate distributes money to a voter with the expectation that they will vote for them
    • Voter impersonation, when an eligible voter votes more than once or a non-eligible voter votes under the name of an eligible one
  • Foreign electoral intervention, attempts by governments to influence elections in another country[1]
  • Illegal electioneering, such as campaigning or wearing political apparel too close to a polling place[2][3]
  • Recruiting candidates with identical or similar names to an existing one, intended to confuse voters[4]
  • Where prohibited, the use of public funds to persuade voters to vote in a certain way[5][6][7]
