Abstract

The enforcement of criminal law in electoral processes constitutes a fundamental pillar in safeguarding democratic integrity and ensuring the realization of free and fair elections. However, in practice, a significant number of electoral crime cases fail to reach the prosecution stage or are terminated during investigation. This suggests that the criminal justice process regarding electoral offenses is not yet fully effective. The findings reveal that stagnation in handling these cases is not merely attributable to technical constraints but reflects deeper structural and systemic issues within the law enforcement framework. Weak inter-institutional coordination within Sentra Gakkumdu has been shown to hinder procedural synchronization and increase the risk of enforcement discontinuity. Furthermore, insufficient evidence and limited investigative capacity significantly constrain juridical proof. These challenges are exacerbated by the relatively short time frame for case handling, which precludes comprehensive investigations. Additionally, shortcomings in regulatory systems and low levels of public participation in monitoring and reporting violations further undermine case continuity and weaken oversight. Therefore, a comprehensive and integrative reformulation of the electoral law enforcement system is urgently required. This includes strengthening institutional coordination, updating regulatory frameworks, and enhancing public participation to improve the effectiveness of the crime process and ensuring elections that are not only credible and accountable, but also just and democratic.
