INTENT TO UNLAWFULLY INFLUENCE A(N) [PRIMARY] [ELECTION]. FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with intent to unlawfully influence a(n)
[primary] [election].
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must prove
two things beyond a reasonable doubt.
First, that the defendant [committed] [attempted to commit] [conspired
to commit] (describe offense(s) from applicable statutes, e.g., to fraudulently
cause a person's name to be placed upon the registration books of more than
one election precinct in violation of G.S. 163-275(1)).1 2
And Second, that the defendant did so with the intent to [[unlawfully
influence] [unlawfully interfere with] a(n) [primary] [election]] [unlawfully
gain].
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant [committed] [attempted to commit]
[conspired to commit] (describe offense(s) from applicable statutes) with the
intent to [[unlawfully influence] [unlawfully interfere with] a(n) [primary]
[election]] [unlawfully gain] , it would be your duty to return a verdict of
guilty. If you do not so find or if you have a reasonable doubt as to one or
both of these things, then you would return a verdict of not guilty.
