The article discusses the new legal framework adopted to regulate the legislative elections scheduled for September 23, 2026. The aim is to strengthen the integrity of the electoral process. It emphasizes stricter eligibility criteria for candidacy, disqualifying individuals currently prosecuted or convicted of crimes that affect ethics and the electoral system. This includes judgments related to both initial and serious (guilty) offenses, with extended bans in cases of previous disqualifications of candidates. The framework also introduces strict measures to combat electoral crimes, particularly those involving the use of social media and artificial intelligence to spread false content and exert unlawful influence on voters. Penalties for such violations have been increased, including longer prison sentences and higher fines. Additionally, modifications have been made to ensure the secrecy of the vote, with voting now performed inside a transparent voting booth in the presence of electoral commission members and candidate representatives, thereby promoting transparency and preventing photography or inappropriate influence. These amendments aim to improve the overall electoral process—from candidacy requirements to voting day—enhancing trust in institutions and ensuring the fairness and transparency of the elections.
