In Jimmy Carter's time, voter fraud was easier to spot: all the dead people who voted for one of his opponents had done so in alphabetical order!

are there other countries with the same problem?

We come from Germany - where there is unlikely to be a big issue, as citizens have to be quite careful about registering where they live in one place only.

I suspect the data in the UK (where I originate) would be pretty messy. The voting lists there are a free for all, I reckon!

Mass voter fraud not even a "problem" in the United States. Anyone preaching this as a problem is going to be a right-wing extremist. And they're the same people who commit voter fraud.

Duplicate voter data is clearly a non-issue, even according to their numbers. 400K+ duplicates with 61 cases of voting twice -- 122 votes. While there are the few and far between elections where this would make a difference, such a low number is a non-issue.
