Home Dictionary Name: inducementInduce
Induce, The dictionary meaning of the word 'induce' is to 'prevail on, persuade'. The gratifi-cation must have some connection or reflection, direct or indirect, in persuading the voter to vote or refrain from voting at an election. If the inducement to the voter is not caused by the pay-ment of the gratification to a third person but by the persuasion or influence (not undue influence) of such third person it will not be possible to say that the gratification had any indirect inducement to the voter. Payment of any gratification to any person to work or canvass at an election is outside the ambit of the definition. It will make little difference if the worker or the canvasser on payment of gratification promises or indulges in tall-talk of securing or procuring some votes for a particular candidate, Kalya Singh v.

Russell, (1893) 1 QB 715; but the principles laid down in these cases were commented on in Allen v. Flood, 1898 AC 1.
