Carousel voting (in Russian карусель[1] (karusel, "carousel")) is a method of vote rigging in elections, used particularly in Russia and Georgia whereby "busloads of voters [being] driven around to cast ballots multiple times".[2] The term "carousel" refers to the circular movement made by the voters, from one polling station to the next, alluding to fairground carousels. Similar practice was reported in Serbia during the 2023 and 2024 local elections when thousands of voters were bussed from one municipality to another (or from Republika Srpska to Serbia), so to vote in municipalities where they do not live.
