Summary/Abstract: The current global context marked by a security crisis that affects the world economy and generates social movements that result in political changes, requires special attention to maintaining the fundamental rights of citizens in a fundamentally democratic state. The right to choose and to be chosen, the right to a freely expressed vote, the right to free elections and the fairness of the electoral process are fundamental guarantees through which the state, through its means, protects its citizens. The Romanian legislator has provided for the criminalization of any antisocial acts that endanger the fairness of the electoral process by violating the rules of conduct regarding voting and attempting to fraud the vote, both through contraventions and through crimes. My scientific research aims to treat electoral crimes.
