Answer:
Election cybersecurity or election security refers to the protection of elections[1] and voting infrastructure from cyberattack or cyber threat[2] – including the tampering with or infiltration of voting machines and equipment, election office networks and practices, and voter registration databases.[3]
Cyber threats or attacks to elections or voting infrastructure could be carried out by insiders within a voting jurisdiction, or by a variety of other actors ranging from nefarious nation-states, to organized cyber criminals to lone-wolf hackers. Motives may range from a desire to influence the election outcome, to discrediting democratic processes, to creating public distrust or even political upheaval
