[PASSED] A1907.03: Criminal Code Amendment (Electoral Fraud)
#1

Quote:(8) Electoral Fraud shall be defined as a manipulation of the democratic process in The South Pacific, wherein an organised body of abettors conspire to obtain legislator status with the intent to vote for private or personal advantage.

To my knowledge a lot of the Electoral Fraud law was written prior to gameside voting become a thing, and hasn't been substantially changed since. As a result it leaves a potential oversight.

While it resists attempts against organized influencibg of forumside elections, there is no similar protection for gameside voting.

The basic obvious case of where such things would be relevant is fairly simple. Right now, if a group sends in a group of nations to brigade an election and sway the result, that is perfectly legal. Such organized efforts should obviously not be legal. If such an effort can be proven to exist in court, it should be a crime as its forumside equivalent already is.

Thoughts?
