voter fraud
Illegal voting activity
Voter fraud is illegal interference with the electoral process—casting ballots under false identities, voting multiple times, or tampering with vote counts.
Though rare in documented cases, the term features prominently in political rhetoric, often invoked to justify restrictive voting laws or challenge election outcomes: They claimed widespread voter fraud without evidence.
