Voter impersonation (United States)
Voter impersonation (also sometimes called in-person voter fraud) is a form of electoral fraud in which a person who is eligible to vote in an election votes more than once, or a person who is not eligible to vote does so by voting under the name of an eligible voter. In the United States, voter ID laws have been enacted in a number of states since 2010 with the aim of preventing voter impersonation. Existing research and evidence shows that voter impersonation is extremely rare. In 1997 in Miami, 18 people were arrested for absentee ballot fraud (not voter impersonation) in the mayoral election. Over a recent 14-year period, there were only 31 documented cases of voter impersonation. There is no evidence that it has changed the result of any election.
