# InvalidEquivocationProof (/docs/errors/chain/InvalidEquivocationProof)

The submitted GRANDPA equivocation proof does not demonstrate a real double-vote: the two votes may be identical, from different rounds or set ids, or badly signed. Verify the proof contains two distinct votes by the same authority in the same round and authority set.

Declared by the `Grandpa` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`invalid_argument`](/docs/errors/invalid-argument).
