Dans son manuel sur les poursuites relatives aux infractions électorales, le département de la Justice des États-Unis définit comme suit la suppression du vote : «Les manœuvres de suppression du vote visent à assurer l'élection du candidat souhaité en empêchant les électeurs réputés être favorables à ses rivaux de se rendre au bureau de vote. Ces manœuvres peuvent prendre la forme suivante : fournir de faux renseignements à la population – ou à un segment particulier de la population – sur les critères d'admissibilité au vote, les conséquences du vote sur le statut de citoyen, les dates du vote des absents ou leurs critères d'admissibilité, la date du scrutin, les heures du vote, ou le bureau de scrutin auquel se rendre». 2, record 1, French, - suppression%20de%20vote
