Preferred term
corruption and democratic elections
Definition
- CORRUPTION IS A constant threat to the democratic process. It can undermine elections by changing the goal from voting for a particular candidate because of their policy proposals, to voting for a candidate because of the prospect of patronage jobs that will become available, as happened with city machines.
