gerrymandering

In the context of Ireland, esp. in the time of establishing its independence on Britain, gerrymandering was used to describe the practice of some individuals going to the polls several times at different places, so that the party (Fianna Fáil in this case) was sure to win the elections.

My granddad told me he went gerrymandering dozens of times although he was not paid for it...
