Carousel Voting

Carousel Voting in Election Law

A method of vote rigging which involves multiple voting, in particular when voters are transported to different polling stations so that they can cast their votes for the same candidate or the same list more than once. Another example is voters using a ballot paper which has already been marked. The voter then takes out the fresh ballot paper provided by the polling station officials, which will then be cast in the same or another polling station. The term 'carousel' refers to the circular movement made by the voters or ballots from one polling station to the next. People are often recruited to do this through offers of payment.
