About: Personation

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Personation (rather than impersonation) is a primarily-legal term, meaning 'to assume the identity of another person with intent to deceive'. It is often used for the kind of voter fraud where an individual votes in an election, whilst pretending to be a different elector. It is also used when charging a person who portrays themselves as a police officer. Personation appears as a crime in the Canadian Criminal Code with the meaning simply of impersonation. Personation is an offence in law in England and Wales: see English criminal law#Forgery, personation and cheating

  • الادعاء الانتخابي (وليس 'انتحال الشخصية) هو مصطلح يستخدم في القانون لوصف نوع محدد من تزوير الانتخابات حيث يقوم الفرد بالتصويت في الانتخابات، بينما يدعي أنه ناخب آخر. تسمح العديد من الولايات القضائية للناخبين بترشيح فرد للتصويت نيابة عنهم، في ظروف معينة، وهو ما يعرف باسم التصويت بالوكالة. وبينما يُنظر إلى التصويت بنموذج وكالة غير صالح باعتباره ادعاءً، فمن المعتاد أن يُنظر إلى نية الخداع اللازمة لإتمام مثل هذا الفعل باعتبارها جريمة.

  • Personation (rather than impersonation) is a primarily-legal term, meaning 'to assume the identity of another person with intent to deceive'. It is often used for the kind of voter fraud where an individual votes in an election, whilst pretending to be a different elector. It is also used when charging a person who portrays themselves as a police officer. Personation appears as a crime in the Canadian Criminal Code with the meaning simply of impersonation. In the U.S., the New York State Penal Law defines the crime of false personation as simply the act of pretending to be another, a Class B misdemeanor; those who assume the identity of another in order to further another crime can be charged with second-degree criminal impersonation, a Class A misdemeanor. Posing as a police officer for any reason, or as a physician in order to forge a prescription or otherwise obtain substances so controlled, is first-degree criminal impersonation, a Class E felony. Many jurisdictions allow electors to nominate an individual to vote on their behalf, often known as proxy voting. Whilst voting with an invalid proxy form could be considered personation, it is usual for an intent to deceive to be required for such an act to be considered criminal.
