Election interference refers to actions taken by individuals, groups, or governments to disrupt or influence the outcome of an election. This can include spreading misinformation, hacking into election systems, intimidating voters, or manipulating the voting process. Election interference has become a major concern in recent years, particularly with the rise of digital technology and social media platforms that can be used to spread false information and manipulate public opinion. Researchers in this area study the various tactics used to interfere in elections and work to develop strategies to detect and prevent such interference in the future.
