Abstract

First, the article attempts to conceptually define the terms "electoral criminal justice" and "electoral crime", taking as a basis the traditional criminal-legal doctrine, in addition to presenting distinctions which are specific to suffrage. Furthermore, the article goes on to discuss specific issues concerning the enforcement of electoral criminal law and suggestions are made –as ideas to take into account– regarding interpretative elements that criminal legal authorities should consider in this type of crime.

Keywords:

Electoral crimes, electoral criminal justice, crime’s theory, electoral process
