OpenStreetMap Foundation 2018 elections incident

During the 2018 board elections of the OpenStreetMap Foundation, a significant and unusual spike in signups was observed. More than 100 individuals registered from the same IP address within a few hours on 15 November 2018. The signups were flagged immediately as suspicious but were not rejected by the OSMF board,^[24] as these signups were not able to vote for the 2018 elections because made after the deadline.

The OpenStreetMap Membership Working Group released a public report ^[25] alleging that this was an orchestrated, directed campaign by GlobalLogic to register in mass their Indian subsidiary employees, and suggested an attempt to manipulate the election.
