Foreign electoral interventions are attempts by governments, covertly or overtly, to influence elections in another country. A 2016 study by Dov H. Levin concluded that the country intervening in most foreign elections was the United States with 81 interventions, followed by Russia (including the former Soviet Union) with 36 interventions from 1946 to 2000. In July 2018 U.S. Representative Ro Khanna introduced an amendment that would have prevented U.S. intelligence agencies from receiving funding that could be used to interfere in the elections of foreign governments. The amendment would ban U.S. agencies from “hacking foreign political parties; engaging in the hacking or manipulation of foreign electoral systems; or sponsoring or promoting media outside the United States that favors one candidate or party over another.” Proponents of election interference helps keep hostile leaders and political parties out of power. Opponents argue that the amendment would send a message to other foreign countries that the U.S. does not interfere in election and set a global gold standard for preventing election interference. Opponents argue that election interference helps keep hostile leaders and political parties out of power.
If we focus on cleaning up our own back yard we will be a better example. We should use influence to support global human rights, environmental stewardship, and collaborative economic sustainability.
No, your country your own influence. Influencing foreign elections may lead to arising complications between the relationship of countries.
No, and we should stop supporting US imperialism
Yes, but only in countries which agree to participate in and display a great likelihood of succeeding in an electoral system.
No but make sure government had it’s own and firm stand on corrupt.. despotic leaders
Yes, but only to ensure election integrity
Stating opinions is fine but that’s all.
United Nations should collectively agree and do so. This way no one country is singled out as being intrusive.
yes because what effects them could effect us, i don’t think we should get physically involved but should help in protecting the people

The influence should reach people at grass root level.
Not in ways that can be traced back to us
We should not care at all about other countries.

Only in Communist countries, oh wait they dont have elections, then no
Canada should fund socialist political parties.
Yes, if the elected party would be a serious threat and hazard to the most unprotected of the population or is hostile and violent to canada and what it stands for
Yes, if any candidates who have a high chance of winning these elections pose a threat to Canada or its allies.
Yes but only to ensure they are fair and accountable.
No, but outreach to foreign areas regarding their political rights and how and where to go for their voices to be heard would be nice.
Yes, but only to protect the country from human rights violations by a tyrannical ruler, by influencing public opinion.
Yes, but only if it benefits Canada economically.
