向选民支付报酬或以实物奖励,诱使其按特定方式投票或参与投票——这属于程序违规,在大多数司法辖区构成犯罪。
Voter intimidation
Pressure, surveillance or threat intended to deter voting or to direct it — a process violation that leaves little documentary trace and relies on observer reporting.
Ballot secrecy breach
Any arrangement that lets a third party learn how an individual voted — including photographed ballots, transparent envelopes and overly small reporting units.
