A Governance Studies and Election Reform Project Event

Election Fraud: Detecting and Deterring Electoral Manipulation

Elections, Campaigns

Event Summary

Countries around the world—even long-established democracies—grapple with the fundamental issue of guaranteeing that their elections are fair and competitive. Recent events ranging from the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Indiana’s voter identification law to the turmoil that has resulted from Zimbabwe’s recent presidential contest only confirm that fact. Drawing on social science research from the U.S. and abroad, Election Fraud: Detecting and Deterring Electoral Manipulation (Brookings, 2008), explores ways to define, measure and detect fraud, and makes recommendations for reform.
