Manipulacje wyborcze Waldemar Wojtasik Manipulacje wyborcze wyd. drugie, Ridero 2022, s. 414

Abstract

In the book under review, the author presents the legal possibilities of influencing election results. Changes in electoral law may have political consequences, but they should not be made with the intention of benefiting their initiators or weakening the opponents. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish election manipulation from election engineering, as well as from illegal activities – offences against elections. The author divides election manipulations into institutional and communication ones. In the author’s opinion, communication manipulations are a greater threat for principles of democracy because they are more difficult to identify.
