Foreign electoral interventions are attempts by governments, covertly or overtly, to influence elections in another country. A 2016 study by Dov H.

Ideology:
Interfere in other countries when it helps secure Indian interests and if it doesn’t backfire. Typically neighbourhood is where we can do that

If India was a Maoist state then yes to defeat reactionary elements in other countries.
Only that countries that interfere with ours.
To protect our own country’s interests

yes as long as it is to protect national interests
@9MJJXSV7mos7MO
Only when there is possibility of tyranny and human rights abuse and that too when the people in that country want it. Not like USA, who barge into every other country and then get smashed and come back crying.
@9FMZP8H1yr1Y
No any interference in Democratic processes make India look autocratic
@9F5BVMZ1yr1Y
On on adversary countries. Manipulate their elections so that the adversary countries do not under any circumstances be united and stand against us. For this we will use covert operations and election influence. What we want to know is that what makes them take a particular decision and what variables influence that decision making (on a political level)
Only to those countries which has a track record of intervention in our democracy.

Address security threats and should interfere in pakistan
@98JKVTXBharatiya Janata2yrs2Y
Yes, only to protect our national interests
@92YHQCV3yrs3Y
No, after all, we should not try to influence any other country’s elections or policy because it’s not only ended in disaster in the long run, but it would be considered a Crime against Democracy, aka Democracide. However, personally, we should, but only to A. address security threats, not monetary interests, B. protect the country from human rights violations by a tyrannical ruler, and C. influence public opinion, & not tamper with a fair voting process, just as long as our actions are not considered a Democracide aka Crimes against Democracy, then I’m for it.
@8TB798W3yrs3Y
Yes, to support the protection of individual rights.
@558YLXV4yrs4Y
Yes, but only publicly; no country should covertly influence or interfere with foreign elections.
@8T9PVBS3yrs3Y
Yes, other countries are interfering with our elections too much and we should start doing it back
@8KTRB5Z4yrs4Y
Yes, but only to protect the country from human rights violations by a tyrannical ruler. The U.S. government should not tamper with the voting process of foreign elections.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, stay out of foreign conflicts
@8CC8MRT4yrs4Y
Yes, but only as a retaliatory measure
@8YPV9GG3yrs3Y
Yes, to the extent that not doing so would have catastrophic consequences for the world. As such, this should only be done against countries who are endangering the world via nuclear threat or climate change-related behaviors. Which is to say Russia and Brazil specifically, maybe India.
@8Y9795B3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if a potential leader is a threat to countries outside of the one they'd be elected to.
