Abstract

The election is a part of the political process in the democracy and for every political system also employs the election as a symbol of the democracy. However, if the election is corrupted in process itself, it is clear that the democracy based on the election may be fraud. Therefore, the cheating strategies in the election will destroy the democratization that the citizen would like to have. We can empirically summarize that under the cheating process, there are at least 12 patterns which are bribing the arresting officers, bribing the referee, managing the election center, blacking out the electricity when counting the vote, negotiating not to fight, threatening, buying all votes, having many the election agents, having enough resources, always pay, ready to enter the soldier areas, blundering to win, and gambling.
